Recent deletions by a few members have left easy links to shorts (particularly the early ones) fairly sparse. I decided to correct this problem and, instead of dumping the links in another thread (like the shorts request or in a thread like The Purge) I'd use my list of working links to provide what is currently working as of 6/22 so anyone looking for shorts would have one spot to find them all, a detailed and ordered list, and a place where people can append shorts as links go up and down over time. This is probably a stupid way of doing things, but it was a short-term solution that's more visible to the forum and allows an easy place to search for and point back to.
While I was working on this, Tost provided a link to a folder of around 2/3 of earlier shorts; I decided to go ahead with this little project anyway, as one folder being taken down would mean losing all 281 shorts and a large portion of the older videos are the lower-quality files re-encoded as mp4 that have been circulating around for several years now.
In addition to Tost's work, portharlot, typeforty, and jackiechanfan each have their own folders of files to explore.
Thanks to MADSareCalling, portharlot, typeforty, Tom Servo, wjnb, Rifferee, havaham, Iwata, jackiechanfan, TheCollector, Starlock, Riffling, Tost, DoctorChimera, mcrowley, joots22, hyasynth, thecasualties, Jim Begg, comicfan, TommyTucker, HmGabe85, chillaxin, Brakiscool, Biffriffer, MalakJoe, readandjudge, peephalk, enyalep, kitcastuff, and MATMAN for keeping their files up and thanks to everyone who has provided a file, hosted, reuploaded, or helped in any way over the years.
As I list out the various titles, I'll link the available qualities for each and leave it up to you as to what you prefer.
I've tried to order quality from highest at left to lowest at right, at least as best as I can manage. I've provided quite a few shorts that I ripped myself from DVD, so those should provide favorable quality vs. size over the old MPEG shorts (most of which are missing from availability anyway). (I've mostly put my DVDrips after the official releases, so as not to make any qualitative claims.) "Low re-encode" denotes files that aren't official releases that have been re-encoded as MP4 from DivX (or MPEG) to a bitrate comparable to or slightly lower than the DivX releases; there may be a few at higher bitrates, but I wasn't going to download all these random files just to find out what's what (things that are obviously higher bitrate are just listed as "re-encode"). Beware the occasional "Medium SD" file, not to be confused with "HD Medium", but some people have kept those up anyway, even though they're well below "High TV" in quality. And please tell me if you see any mistakes or bad links. I can't imagine not screwing up something in here.
