The other option, as you own the originals, is to use a virtual machine. Innotek VirtualBox is completely free and runs Windows 98 perfectly which is ideal for running old DOS and WIn 9x games.

I just looked in the PD FAQs for you and any account not active for about 6 months or more faces being purged. This includes all accounts, with a good seed ratio or not. Any inactive accounts face being wiped.
The best way to keep a PD account active is just to keep seeding and updating the MAME torrent. That way you should never get banned and you seed ratio will just continue to increase. Then when you want something from there you should have a great ratio to download what you want.

I have now over 800GB upload at PD, and I only have a 512kb/s line. Been seeding for already a long time.

Didn't they upgrade your line recently though?

That is your upload speed though, right? If so that's pretty good. In the UK we only have 448kbps.
