We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

can this data all be quickly scraped before the DOJ closes this loophole?

Im sure there have been datahoarders doing that ever since the first files dropped. Its just that you cant easily republish it because it's probably illegal to possess and distribute these videos.

I’ve considered it myself as a data hoarder, it almost seems like a honeypot to me but it is tempting

I have almost all of it backed up.

Those this include the one shown by OP or only the ones DOJ wanted to share originally?

Which file extensions did you scrape?

Does that automatically include the media files of the correspondinging “No Images Produced” pdfs too?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Although, I'm having to do some research right now to figure out how I can speed up indexing. It's a ridiculous amount of data.

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Cool. So you would have gotten them from the zips before they pulled them down or from the later torrents?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I've gotten my copies through torrents and I have seen many "no images were created" PDFs.

I had other things to do today so I haven't tried what the tictoker suggested but I should be able to soon.
