@ifixcoinops To be fair, in case the DVDs are completely failing, I guess that's the best choice. Of course, it's hard, but there is always the chance there is someone in some small country still seeding it at 1 kbps. I remember downloading a torrent or two that took a year to finish just because the most seeded torrents were shit and the only good only had just a few seeders.

Or trying to buy a still recoverable DVD on the internet and hope that's really still recoverable, then rip it. It is still hard. Thus, anyone who still has recoverable DVDs should rip as soon as possible.
