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.

~~Yeah :/ I haven't been able pull anything in a while now.~~ I was just able to pull 6 chunks, the data is still out there!

[–] epstein_files_guy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I messaged you on the other site; I'm currently getting a Could not determine Content-Length (got None) error

[–] WhatCD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What happens when you go to https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209.zip in your browser?

I also was getting the same error. Going to the link successfully downloads.

Updating the cookies fixed the issue.

[–] WorldlyBasis9838@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can also confirm, receiving more chunks again.

Updated the script to display information better: https://pastebin.com/S4gvw9q1

It has one library dependency so you'll have to do:

pip install rich

I haven't been getting blocked with this:

python script.py 'https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209.zip' -o 'DataSet 9.zip' --cookies cookie.txt --retries 2 --referer 'https://www.justice.gov/age-verify?destination=%2Fepstein%2Ffiles%2FDataSet+9.zip' --ua '<set-this>' --timeout 90 -t 16 -c auto

The new script can auto set threads and chunks, I updated the main comment with more info about those.

I'm setting the --ua option which let's you override the user agent header. I'm making sure it matches the browser that I use to request the cookie.

Gonna grab a some tea, then get back at it. Will update when I have something.

Thanks for this!

EDIT: This works quite well. Getting chunks right off the bat. About 1 per second, just guessing.

[–] WorldlyBasis9838@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I had the script crash at line 324: BadStatusLine: HTTP/1.1 0 Init

EDIT: It’s worth noting that about every time I (re) start it after seemingly been blocked a bit, I get about 1gb more before it slows WAY down (no server response).

EDIT: It looks to me, that if I'm getting only FAILED: No server response, stopping the script for a minute or two and restarting immediately garners a lot more results. I think having a longer pause with many failures might be worth looking at. -- I'll play around a bit.

Yeah when I run into this I’ve switched browsers and it’s helped. I’ve also switched IP addresses and it’s helped.

alrighty, I'm currently in the middle of the archive.org upload but I can transfer the chunks I already have over to a different machine and do it there with a new IP
