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.

Do people here have the partial dataset 9? or are you all missing the entire set? There is a magnet link floating around for ~100GB of it, the one removed in the OP

I am trying to figure out exactly how many files dataset 9 is supposed to have in it. Before the zip file went dark, I was able to download about 2GB of it. This was today, maybe not the original zip file from jan 30th In the head of the zip file is an index file, VOL00009.OPT, you don't need the full download in order to read this index file. The index file says there are 531,307 pdfs the 100GB torrent has 531,256, it's missing 51 pdfs. I checked the 51 file names and they no longer exist as individual files on the DOJ website either. I'm assuming these are the CSAM.

note that the 3M number of released documents != 3M pdfs. each pdf page is counted as a "document". dataset 9 contains 1,223,757 documents, and according to the index, we are missing only 51 documents, they are not multipage. In total, I have 2,731,789 documents from datasets 1-12, short of the 3M number. the index I got also was not missing document ranges

it's curious that the zip file had an extra 80GB when only 51 documents are missing. I'm currently scraping links from the DOJ webpage to double check the filenames

i analyzed with AI my 36gb~ that I was able to download before they erased the zip file from the server.

Complete Volume Analysis

  Based on the OPT metadata file, here's what VOL00009 was supposed to contain:

  Full Volume Specifications

  - Total Bates-numbered pages: 1,223,757 pages
  - Total unique PDF files: 531,307 individual PDFs
  - Bates number range: EFTA00039025 to EFTA01262781
  - Subdirectory structure: IMAGES\0001\ through IMAGES\0532\ (532 folders)
  - Expected size: ~180 GB (based on your download info)

  What You Actually Got

  - PDF files received: 90,982 files
  - Subdirectories: 91 folders (0001 through ~0091)
  - Current size: 37 GB
  - Percentage received: ~17% of the files (91 out of 532 folders)

  The Math

  Expected:  531,307 PDF files / 180 GB / 532 folders
  Received:   90,982 PDF files /  37 GB /  91 folders
  Missing:   440,325 PDF files / 143 GB / 441 folders

  ★ Insight ─────────────────────────────────────
  You got approximately the first 17% of the volume before the server deleted it. The good news is that the DAT/OPT index files are complete, so you have a full manifest of what should be there. This means:
  - You know exactly which documents are missing (folders 0092-0532)

I haven't looked into downloading the partials from archive.org yet to see if I have any useful files that archive.org doesn't have yet from dataset 9.
