MaM and Geek and some other sites post a weekly 0-Day dump from the comic usenet boards.

So every week, all the comics for the week a dropped in one bundle. “0-Day Week” is what they’re called.

Make an feed in your usenet/torrent/autobrr client to auto dl these weekly packs. Then in mylar add it to the folder-monitor.

To “quickly” (processing takes a while) jumpstart a collection go to MaM and download entire years worth of comics and have mylar import them all.

Please use MaM as having seeders is really important for all these comics.

Upvoting but I don't know what are you saying and if it's valid. Maybe someone can confirm

    Some explanation, sorry I don’t know what you do and don’t know so forgive me if I go too far, perhaps someone else will learn too :3

    0-Day is for scene (usually), basically the first release of pirated content. Like EDITH or CAKE (rip). In the comics sense they post to a usenet board, kinda like a super secret forum.

    so the 0-Day Week bundle is a collection of all the 0-Day comics that were posted in that week to the usenet board

    MaM and Geek are indexers that make it easier for people to find content to download. People post the 0-Day bundles there

    You can settup an rss feed on these indexers to auto filter for these “0-Day Week” bundles. After you make the rss feed you can add it to your torrent client so it would automatically download any new weekly bundle.

    Mylar is a comic book manager, like Sonarr/Radarr.

    This settup will archive comics as they release week-by-week. More for people that want to host their own comic book server.

    I usually just use Tachiyomi and add sources that look like they might contain comics. Currently rereading Sandman.

    Thanks for this. I really miss 32Pages and haven't really been DLing comics too much. I found a good comic shop near me that fills my needs.

    I must have missed that MaM has 0day comic releases. I'll definitely hop on and seed those.

    Have you tried dc++? Everyone was there back then and everyone is still there now. Basically it's the best ever place for getting comics, 0day or some obscure 20 yo scans.

    I haven't heard of this before! I've only glanced at the link you posted, I need time to give it a proper look. I need more hours in a day.

    It looks awesome, at a glance!!! Maybe like SoulSeek, but comic nerds? I can't wait to dive in (skepticism aside). Thanks for the link. It's been hard to stay in the loop.

    FYI for those using public torrents Nemesis43 / Nem43 still uploads those comic packs/dumps to 1337x and Demonoid. Those torrents often get mirrored to TorrentGalaxy too.

    This is a long shot, but years ago uploaders would make art pages as signatures at the start of the comic. Is there any place where these are saved?

    Thank you for the info. Question now is, what is the best way to read them on a tablet?

    You can run Komga or anything with OPDS support then install and app that supports OPDS on your tablet. Mylar has a built in OPDS server option if you’re extra lazy 😎

    I use Komga and “Paperback - A Komga Client” for my phone/ipad which I find to be a bit smoother then other OPDS clients though.

    I personally use Tachiyomi or CDisplayEx if its on android. Or if it's on my iPad then I use the paperback app using repos, or for my own collection I LOVE YAC reader. The guy who develops it is super cool and actually listens to requests when they make sense and it's way better than Kavita or Komga IMO if you don't mind using your PC as a server.

    Edit: typos

    I use tachiyomi with readcomiconline.li and readcomicsonline addon and I always get what I am searching for. I can download to read later and the ui is pretty good. Your solution sounds great but I don't need all the comics in the world.
