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.

I am downloading dataset 9 and should have the full 180gb zip done in a day. To confirm, the link on DOJ to the dataset 9 zip is now updated to be clean of CSAM or not? As much as I wish to help the cause, I do not want any of that type of material on my server unless permission has been given to host it for credible researchers only that need access to all files for their investigation, but I have no way of understanding what’s within legal rights to assist with redistributing the files to legitimate investigators and thus my plans to help create a torrent may be squashed. Please let me know.

What’s your method for getting the zip file without being cut off by the CDN?

[–] Arthas@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have various chunking techniques that I use. I adaptively modify the request size of the chunks as I've noticed at times the CDN will give large amounts then micro amounts. I haven't figured out the exact backoff rate but I have retry mechanisms in place. The CDN is very annoying but so far my methods are working, just slow.

I have tried dozens of different settings. Cookies. Ect ect. I haven’t had much luck
