Note:
And I want to leave a massive thank you for the community that made this possible. I won't mention anyone by handle, as I don't know if they want to be mentioned at all. I'm just a facilitator here (and not a very good one), they are the ones that make this possible every release.

@Matt Balmer - I'm guessing you are trying to use the torrent. I have no control over how it is generated, it's done by Archive.org automatically. Use Jdownloader2 and you should be good. Because the files are definitely there, as you can see here: https://archive.org/download/tosec-main-2021-12-31
Edit: I'm sorry I misread your message, you are right when you say it only goes to the letter M. But unfortunately you aren't right when you say it is missing files.
As previously answered to @Alestes78, that's what TOSEC have on their DAT. You should message then to ask why they only have those files on their DAT.
@Joseph Rate - Are you sure? Because they seen to be there https://ia601502.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/7/items/tosec-main-2021-12-31/Apple/II/Magazines/%5BDSK%5D/Apple%20II%20-%20Magazines%20-%20%5BDSK%5D%20%28TOSEC-v2021-12-11%29.zip and I was able to download them...
@Danceographic Ocean - (1) Just send me the link when you have it ready and I will update it on the pack.
(2) You definitely made a difference. Thank you.
@Ray Ban - This is TOSEC (2021-12-31), not [TOSEC-ISO] Commodore (2021-12-31). Please check there about it.
@Alestes78 - I could if it was an actual problem. It's not missing because it isn't on the DAT file. If there is something missing or incorrect on a DAT, you should contact TOSEC as they are the ones creating it. https://www.tosecdev.org/contact-us
@Trackah123 - That's unfortunate. It should create a package per file, but keep the folder structure. For me, it only messes up the folder structure if I create a single package with all links.
@Joe Glax - (1) - That was a known issue with JDownloader, I don't know if it has been fixed - https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?p=481151
(2) - You should have 2061 files and 3040 folders. As it is one folder per file, but they are nested. which means you will have way more folders than files.
(3) That's weird, I never noticed to be honest. But at least no you have the available packs.
@teppic - I will try, but if it doesn't work, I'm sorry.
@Meth Methanoid - I appreciate your suggestion, but unfortunately I don't have time for Usenet at the moment. And about the torrent file, it's auto generated by Archive.org as mentioned and I have 0 control about its behaviour.
@jkirsch - Thanks for your help.
@joaquinito2051 - I could, if I had it... But maybe soon I will...
@ZzackK - I will, once I have it all uploaded here.
@RobFon12998 - I just want to clarify that I have no relation with the TOSEC group, neither I have control or influence about how or what goes on their DATs. If you think something should be included or not removed from a DAT, please contact them here - https://www.tosecdev.org/contact-us
About that LSL Looking for love, if it's missing from the pack and it is currently on a TOSEC DAT from their last release, some more information would help me find it, because on my side IBM - PC Compatibles - Games - [IMG] looks complete, and I couldn't find that file on the DAT.

The .zip file only appears to go up through the letter M (and even then, only one title with that letter) in the alphabet. Remaining titles with the letters M thru Z appear to be missing entirely.

@GeneXo,
Indeed, my bad, don't know what went wrong the first time, I must have been distracted. Anyway, many thanks!

To make updating an existing TOSEC collection easier from this, and to save users and IA bandwidth, I wrote a python script that takes fixdats for missing files and automatically downloads only the missing files from this collection.
https://pastebin.com/rgYE9Lvn
Put this into a folder and create subfolders fixdats and downloads. Put fixdat files into folder fixdats. Then run the python script.
Tested on Linux with fixdats from RV. May or may not need minor adjustment on Windows.
Thank you GeneXo for your hard work in creating this collection.

After recent closure of a certain site, it's really hard to get latest TOSEC among other things, so big thanks for this.
JDownloader2 in my case didn't grabbed the folder tree structure, only downloaded the zip files. I'm not so familiar with this site but at least i'm up2date, thanks again!

Subject: Great!
Great set....maybe it's time to donate to Jdownloader2 LOL!
UPDATE: Jdownloader2 puked on any folder having a + sign in it. Does this happen to others or just me? (specifically the VideoPac+ and TO8 sets)..and JD2 missed the MSX2+ folder also.. in case anyone did bulk download
UPDATE2: Got all files.. I have 2,004 files in 2,969 directories. This does not feel 'right' as each directory should have exactly one zip file. Combined size is about 140 GB. Anyone else have their numbers for confirmation?
UPDATE3: @GeneXo JD2 also has a bug while parsing the xml files to get names.. it messes up things with & in them. Crazy, but now I have 2210 files in 3207 dirs, not counting the files archive.org makes in the root.

Subject: Missing A Few things
Subject: Missing A Few things
My largest issue at the moment is finding with ISO's
But an A+ on everything else so far.
Would be easier to have just an update set for this release especially when it comes to the commodore stuff because you can't pick and hunt 3,000 single updates and you can't exactly wait 5 days for the entire 10,000 file is downloaded for the millionth time.
Later Thoughts.
Doing the 2021-12-32 dat update for the C64 games D64 literally threw out almost every single game.
Was this an error did the community lose over 62,000 worth of D64 images so someone can start from scratch?
2 Missing LSL games turned out to be the 6 disk version which is complete.
This goes back to posting updates versus hunt and peck through 11,000 disks.
What I end up doing is use download them all because otherwise I will be the chicken shuffle for days.
This kills someone else bandwidth not mine.
And I am not ungrateful, just frustrated.
So to update, the IBM is complete as far as I have found.

Apparently if the uploader deletes the torrent file and then uploads any other file it will auto regen the torrent and fix the issues.
I only get 100-200k/sec direct so it'd certainly help if the torrent could get fixed.
Otherwise great to have the latest all in one place.

Ive tried all the TOSEC torrents and almost without fail all are not seeded.
OP should post obfuscated on usenet where they'd be available and then post NZB file a week later. This fails for me

@Meth Methanoid: If the upload has been done in multiple parts, the torrent will only contain the files uploaded in the first part. This is an archive.org limitation.
@RobFon12998: No D64 files have been removed going from the previous Tosec release to this one. But, there have been reorganisation of the DAT files. So, some D64 files may now be in another DAT that last time.
I suggest using the RomVault tool that can manage all the DAT files at the same time, instead of a tool that manage a DAT file at a time.
