Thread: MySpleen.cc (MYS) Review

Hey there guys, thought I'd inform people about the great little underground site MySpleen.

http://www.myspleen.cc

Not really sure what to say about the site, it has quite a mix of torrents and if you've looked on every other torrent site for something obscure then chances are that you'll find it at MySpleen. The site specialises in standup comedy shows/cds, Adult Swim shows and past shows from people's childhood (from Pete and Pete to Punky Brewster, you'll find a lot of stuff here). Some of my personal favourites on the site include cancelled MTV cartoons (Mission Hill, Undergrads, Liquid TV) and old public access horror TV with those corny presenters introducing really bad movies! Another great feature of the site is that it has EVERY MST3K episode on there too. You'll be able to find some rare cuts of cult movies too, the original cuts of Star Wars were quite popular on the site too.

At the time of writing this, there has been an awesome Evil Dead fan collection of rare videos and files uploaded to the site.

I've been a member myself since 2004 when they had open signups, now it's invite only but it's still relatively easy to get in as most members can accumulate 10 invites quite easily. The only hard part about getting in is finding someone who is a member on the site. I haven't came across ANYONE on these boards that is a member except for myself (and of course the people I've recently invited), so obviously getting into the site is rare but for a different reason than most.

I think it's quite hard to seed on the site, unless your into Adult Swim shows in which case a LOT of people will leech them from you. If you like the obscure stuff like me though, you're gonna be in for a tough time.

The community is great with a thriving forum and about 75% of requests being filled out.

So...

Content: Personally they have nearly EVERY weird show I like and if they don't then I'm usually introduced to new things by them. 10/10

Rarity: Easy to get in, hard to find someone to invite you. 4/10

Speed: Reasonable, nothing to write home about. 6/10

Community: Great, thriving. Could do with more requests being filled out though. 9/10

i've been a Mypleener for a while and your review is pretty dead on.

all i wanted to add was... they now are at myspleen.cc including their forums.

I wish more people would use Myspeen.cc. I guess people just don't have enjoy the retro stuff anymore.

I joined the site a little over 2 years ago (back when it was myspleen.net, I believe) because I wanted to watch Bug Juice (an old Disney Channel camp reality show). Once I got an invite, I was amazed at the different stuff they have there.

The whole purpose of the site is to give people access to shows that can't be found on DVD and such. So there is a lot of obscure content that I never thought I would find.

I agree, the speeds are pretty bad there. The life of the torrents are pretty short because of how dated the shows are (like I said, people don't appreciate the classics!) But I always check there once in a while to see if something new (old) from my past shows up.

Anyway, it's a great tracker that I hope gets more exposure. Looks like it costs them more money to upkeep it than what they get in donations. If you want a look around, you should do it soon before it disappears for good!

This sounds interesting. I've always been a retro junkie. I wonder if they'd have 'Check It Out With Dr. Steve Brule'. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Someone hook me up with a MySpleen invite if you're able to please :)

Huge fan of the site, my second favorite obscure torrent site behind cinemageddon!

yea i heard really good things about this site, if your into those cult movies/shows. or even just old school childhood cartoons...

I can't find any rules for ratio on the site. Are there any specific rules?(How long to seed, ratio for each torrent, general ratio, ect.) Either way, I'm going to try to keep the best ratio as possible.
Edit: never mind. I read on the forum that there are no requirements.
