my username and password is also being denied? should i recreate account? Thanks

The download starts but then stops immediately :(

even with wget, from the 98best44.zip file below, it does not accept login (not even manually from the browser)

Username/Password Authentication Failed.

I can't download with the login information I signed up with.
I hope you can solve this.

The update folder for 272 in the update packs folder is now populated but the one for 273 in the main directory is empty. What's going on?

True, what you need to do is this. Create a folder for the ROMS, open the folder in a terminal window and enter this command;

wget -r -np -nd -nc --http-user=USER --http-password=PASSWORD --referer=https://www.retroroms.info https://bda.retroroms.net/downloads/mame/mame0273-full/

Replacing the username and password with your own. It's all one line.

I cant d/l dont recognize my user and pass from the 3do.zip file to the end of list from the "mame0273-full/" folder (401 Authorization Required)
I ask for help please
Thx

Is it possible to mass download? I need the full mame set but after a few files it keeps asking for my login over and over. Or does anyone have a site with the current full set for download. Mine are so messed up.. half merged and half non merged.

OK, so, if you use wget to download you will need to note a few small changes.
The folder names no longer include a - so mame-0272 is now mame0272. Also you will get a refused connection if you use the port 82 option. So now the command should look like this;
wget -r -np -nd -nc --http-user=USER --http-password=PASSWORD --referer=https://www.retroroms.info https://bda.retroroms.net/downloads/mame/mame0272/
But for now mame0272 is empty.

Thanks so much for effort, just cant d/l dont recognize my user and pass

I dont see any of the mame272 updated games only unless it hasn't been finished
