[07:16] Your site still lists Filefront as no longer at risk, but it is disapearing rapidly [07:18] 16 admins and no one paying attention :( [07:22] For anyone else trying to get files from Filefront/Gamefront. Even though you can no longer browse it, Google can still find the actual DL pages [07:24] I really hope you had started archiving FileFront, as it is a bit late for the older files, but plenty of newer stuff can still be found [07:36] For those who want an archive retrieval browser plugin, I can recommend the "Webcache" extension for Opera browser https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/webcache/ [09:26] Still no admin awake ? [09:51] Dr-Flay: Hi. I don't know if the wiki signup is still down, but if you can get an account you can change it yourself. [09:51] If not, there'll probably be someone here later. [09:52] In the meantime, do you have any scripting experience that you could use to help? There's always a few things to investigate: how many files are there, is there a list, how to download them? [09:53] URL structures, what kind of files are there, are they worth saving etc.? [12:04] Sorry @alard, now I'm just as guilty! It occurs to me that the makers of the free downloader "MiPony" may be able to help. [12:05] They add sites that use pain-in-the-ass front-ends [12:05] on request [12:06] I got them to add File/GameFront a while ago [12:07] I was going to ask them about adding Fileplanet to it's recognised sites, but as they were closing it, I thought it was pointless [12:35] I have a friend who is an excellent programmer with plenty of html experience, I'll ask him to have a look at your site and see if he can spare some time. [12:43] As I said earlier Google can still see the pages that still exist in Filefront, even though they have removed the navigation html for the old stuff. Searching filefront with Google for a recognisable term still works. You can then access the actual DL page, but some of the file are now gone. [12:51] Here is an example I just checked. I searched for "filefront ut2k4" and chose http://www.gamefront.com/files/12531958/battlestargalacticacylonsv2_ut2k4_zip This is still there, but if you navigate up through the folders it will say nothing exists :( LIARS ! [12:53] MiPony will download from that link I gave you. MiPony also checks and shows if a file can be found at the end of the link [12:55] I really think the makers of MiPony are very likely to be able to help, with mass downloading. [12:55] Gotta go now will, check back tonight [15:16] I'm not sure, but I think his problem with File/GameFront is this: http://www.gamefront.com/file-hosting-faq/ They delete files that haven't been downloaded in 60 days, or 7 days for anonymous uploads. [15:17] It also seems that you can just guess walk the numeric file IDs, e.g., http://www.gamefront.com/files/files/21677000/ [15:20] If we're going after this, it would need constant updating since the site is not dead. [15:23] Also: large files. And is this actually something that could be interesting to put on archive.org? (I'm not a gamer, so I can't judge the value of these files. Are they pirated versions? User-built add-ons?) [15:47] alard: they're mods and things. user generated addons, etc [15:47] It would be a good "always busy" project for the workers [15:47] (maybe?) [15:48] Yes. That could be something. [16:11] or an auto-ingestion thing for jason [22:52] hi folks, I'm not really sure how to archive touchatag.com and since the site is going down on the 30th (http://touchatag.net/eol/) , any help would be appreciated [23:49] hey. i need someone to help me find comprehensive 2010-12 e-books on NC Bar prep (it has to be NC specific). I will pay 0.60 bitcoins for this. PM me or email me: lawstudent@tormail.org if you can help [23:50] fuckin spammers [23:50] like what the fuck
