Two main things were serious misuse that caused huge bills and there was major security loophole. Also we had started using Mediafire and Box.net, both which do fine with raw distribution (boards are filled with raw material). --- End quote --- I'm interested in the raw scans, so I can practice doing covers. I'm sending an email to Snowcone for more info on how to get an archive. Personally, I think torrents, newsgroups or mirc could be better to solve the bandwidth issues --- End quote --- Those scans in the raws section were mostly bad and are probably deleted. For which console you want raws? I have some SNES and some NES raws. --- End quote --- Arseen, Of the consoles and handhelds list, on this page, I have 27consoles and 7handhelds I have others, but they are not listed... My goal is to get raw scans so I can make accurate covers. I'm not saying I'm any good at making covers but you got to start somewhere. So any systems quality raw scans are helpful. I sent an email to Snowcone to see if there's a way to get an archive of the raws... |

You can still access the "Raw Cover Scans" section on archived versions of the site: -> https://web.archive.org/web/20170722220521/http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/ But like the others have said, it is not really worth it. There were only very few uploads anyway. If you are looking for RAWs, you can find tons on the forums. |

Folks - The raw scans are still there. I just don't have them linked to anything. There was never a security issue. Let me see how big the archive is as I've also got a 100GB archive from Cover galaxy I need to do something with. |

After not having access to the site for a couple days, with it being scraped... It would be hard to lose the site as a resource. Thanks |

@Starbuck777 You are not listening! :) The "Raw Cover Scans" section of the main site has never seen much action in the first place and was abandoned years ago. There are only a handfull of cover scans (20 at most) in each category and it does not even incluce the current generation (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, WiiU, 3DS, etc.). Again you can access the whole thing yourself with the archive link I posted earlier. There is nothing to be gained from it and I would rather Snowcone spends his time getting TCP back on track then with this nonsense. ;) |
