Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

This list will be edited as more data becomes available, particularly with regard to Data Set 9 (EDIT: NOT ANYMORE)

EDIT [2026-02-02]: After being made aware of potential CSAM in the original Data Set 9 releases and seeing confirmation in the New York Times, I will no longer support any effort to maintain links to archives of it. There is suspicion of CSAM in Data Set 10 as well. I am removing links to both archives.

Some in this thread may be upset by this action. It is right to be distrustful of a government that has not shown signs of integrity. However, I do trust journalists who hold the government accountable.

I am abandoning this project and removing any links to content that commenters here and on reddit have suggested may contain CSAM.

Superb, I have 1-8, 11-12.

Only remaining 10 (to complete - downloading from Archive.org now)

Dataset 9 is the biggest. I ended up writing a parser to go through every page on justice.gov and make an index list.

Current estimate of files list is:

  • ~1,022,500 files (50 files/page × 20,450 pages)
  • My scraped index so far: 528,586 files / 634,573 URLs
  • Currently downloading individual files: 24,371 files (29GB)
  • Download rate ~1 file/sec to avoid getting blocked = ~12 days continuous for full set

Your merged 45GB + 86GB torrents (~500K-700K files) would be a huge help. Happy to cross-reference with my scraped URL list to find any gaps.

UPDATE DATASET 9 Files List:

Progress:

  • Scraped 529,334 file URLs from Justice .gov (pages 0-18333, ~89% of index)
  • Downloading individual files: 30K files / 41GB so far
  • Also grabbed the 86GB DataSet_9.tar.xz torrent (~500K files) - extracting now

Uploaded my URL index to Archive.org - 529K file URLs in JSON format if anyone wants to help download the remaining files.

link: https://archive.org/details/epstein-dataset9-index

The link is live and shows the 75.7MB JSON file available for download.

here is a little script that can generate the above report if you have your dir something like this:

 # Minimum working example:
  my_directory/
  ├── DataSet_1/
  │   └── (any files)
  ├── DataSet_2/
  │   └── (any files)
  └── DataSet 2.zip  (optional - will be matched)

Would love to help still from my PC on dataset 9 specifically. Any way we can exchange progress so I won't start with downloading files you already have downloaded?

E: just started scraping starting from page 18330 (as you mentioned you ended around 18333), hoping I can fill in the remaining 4000-ish pages

Update 2 (1715UTC): just finished scraping up until the page 20500 limit you set in the code. There are 0 new files in the range between 18330-20500 compared to the ones you already found. So unless I did something wrong, either your list is complete or the DOJ has been scrambling their shit (considering the large number of duplicate pages, I'm going with the second explanation).

Either way, I'm gonna extract the 48GB and 100GB torrent directories now and try to mark down which of the files already exist within those torrents, so we can make an (intermediate) list of which files are still missing from them
