Information about the closure of Myrient

Hello everyone,

I have decided to shut down Myrient on 31 March 2026. Until then, the site will continue to remain available in its current state. Please download any content you find important, as you have around one month to do so.

There are several reasons for the closure: - Insufficient funding As traffic continued to increase last year, the amount of funding from donations remained the same. I have been paying more than $6000 out of pocket every month in order to cover the difference which is not sustainable.

- Paywalled download managers In the past several months, many specialized download managers were created that completely bypassed the site, donation messages, and download protections. Some of these download managers locked certain features behind a paywall that required users to pay in order to gain access. The use of Myrient for commercial, for-profit purposes has always been strictly forbidden. Such egregious and abusive usage of the site cannot be tolerated anymore.

- Rising RAM, SSD, and HDD prices Since last September, RAM, SSD, and HDD prices have surged dramatically and continue to rise due to the ongoing extreme demand for AI datacenters. This has caused Myrient's hosting expenses to go up as well. Necessary upgrades to the storage and caching infrastructure only exacerbated the problem. With a large number of servers and the aforementioned existing monthly deficit in excess of $6000 out of pocket, there is no way to pay for the increased hosting and hardware upgrade costs.

There are still many other smaller reasons, I could go on and on about them, but nobody would want to read it.

In short, I can no longer afford to run the site.

If you have any comments, you can send them to [email protected] (I will read all of them and might respond to a few).

Thanks for using Myrient over the years.

small ratemyprofessors advice: if your potential prof is Black, keep that in mind if people say they're "rude" or "have an attitude." i've taken multiple profs with reviews like that and they were fine. one of them i found out got a bad review bc the student was a police officer and his class is a Black politics class. so that didn't go over well. another i honestly think the students hated for the crime of being a Black woman, she was WAY more accommodating than necessary for a college course and even made the requirements lighter after asking for writing samples and getting back ones that were uh. shall i say far below what should be expected of people who got into college.

anyway sometimes the prof is fine and students are just racist 👍

i don't like it when someone enacts a boundary online and then complains about the natural consequences of people following it.

"my posts don't get a lot of interactions!" you have it bolded and in massive text that you block people for likespam.

"why do so many people have me blocked?" because of your DNI that is front and center.

"why won't anyone talk to me?"

your rules for speaking with you are incredibly specific and multiple pages long.

if you want people to be respectful of your boundaries, then don't complain when they do exactly that.

online mental illness club (by REAL mentally ill people!)

hi welcome to mental illness club. before you come in, can you please fill out this profile indicating all the traumas that caused you to become mentally ill? no, we can't let you in without it. ...what if someone doesn't remember what caused their mental illness, or doesn't think it was trauma related? don't be silly. trauma is the only cause of mental illness and everyone remembers their trauma. everyone else is a faker! ...the trauma that comes from being mentally ill? no, that's not what we're talking about here. if you can't fill out the form you must be faking it.

i think some people on this website have decided that the only system of structural discrimination that exists is the one in Their country. there are types of racism you have probably never heard of before. there are reproductive lawsuits you'd find beyond absurd. there's hypserspecific discrimination you might think was fictional at first. pick a country and learn about what discrimination looks like there. broaden your worldview. start learning.

higurashi changed my life and was so compelling to me that i managed to sit through someone playing through all of it on youtube to experience it and yet NO ONE fucking believes me when i try to tell them it's about the power of friendship :/

hate when i say i have one skill and people extrapolate a whole different skill from that. "oh you do black and white film photography, can you do video lighting?" No. "oh you draw, you can do graphic design" No.
