Still active website, seems to purge if they aren't downloaded for a while (how long that is isn't specified anywhere). They have a [https://filerio.in/?op=check_files link checker tool] which you can use to see if files are still available. Not very common, but still worth checking if you find a link.

* <s>The easiest way is to use a Telegram bot which lets you download files from Chomikuj easily. You can add it [https://t.me/CzomikBot here]. You need to type "/start" then paste the link to the file. (example: <code>http://chomikuj.pl/polonista2233/Systemy+Operacyjne/WindowZ+v2+2010/WindowZ+v2+2010,6660974000.iso(archive)</code>)</b></s> Bot is dead as of April 2024.

* Finally, if you happen to live in Poland and have a carrier that still allows Premium SMS, you can pay for the download points through that and download the file.
