Cooking Chums archive now serving - ~1 GB uncompressed, ~500 MB compressed as .7z

[wickedplayer494]

[del][highlight][B]The FTP server is currently offline. ETA is ~30m after new CS:GO update hits[/B][/highlight][/del]

I figured I would take the time to make an archive of the Cooking Chums forum. Ever since the forum became hidden from public view, its posts were at risk of deletion. There's a fair chunk of content in there, so why let it go to waste?

[B]How big is the archive?[/B]

Uncompressed, it is close to a gigabyte in size. Compressed in the .7z format though, the size is more than halved to ~500 MB. Over 30K files comprise the archive, with around 600 or so folders.

[B]Where the fuck do I download it?[/B]

You'll need to use a FTP client for this one (such as FileZilla), since the size of the archive is far too big for many web hosting services. The details are as follows:

IP: [del]24.76.165.74[/del] 24.76.160.81
Port: 50000
Username: facepunch
Password: facepunch

If you have Chrome, [url=ftp://24.76.165.74]you can just click HERE to connect and grab whatever[/url].

For now, the userlimit is unlimited (but limited to 1 connection per IP to prevent DDoS), but due to the slow upload speeds I have, I might consider reducing it to 10 at a time if things become problematic.

[B]I don't want to use FTP/FTP is too confusing![/B]

ATRanko has decided to upload it to Mega for those that are unwilling to configure a FTP client:

[B]How is the archive organized?[/B]

The archive is organized in this format:

Main folder for entire section > Thread > Individual pages (and dependencies)

Ratings are also included as well. Please be aware that threads saved after April 28th will have the rating scrolling bug present, but rest assured that the full list is still there.

[B]Hey, I'm you![/B]

Actually, you're not. Anything you decide to fuck with applies to your account, not mine. Just in case though, I've changed my password.

Enjoy!

I should also note that I'm planning to take the server down temporarily at a little before 4 PM CDT tomorrow. New connections will be locked at 8:30 AM CDT.

Why don't you just split it into 3 parts and upload it to somewhere instead of making this an annoyingly long process

EDIT: There's also this, which is nice to have: [URL]http://infothread.org/Foods/[/URL]

Put it on Mega you get 50gb for free

[Download]

How exactly is FTP difficult?, much easier than any upload site if you ask me with the wait times and such

[im autistic]

why do you care about this

[ATRanko]

I'll host it on Mega once i finish downloading.

Sweet, putting this mirror up in the OP.

[editline]15th May 2013[/editline]

FTP server is offline now because of the fact that there were no active connections. Should be back up by ~5-6 PM CDT. But, the Mega mirror is 24/7!

[wickedplayer494]

Server is back up temporarily, not sure for how long. It could even potentially stay up for the night.

What's the point of wasting more time just to upload something that will take the exact same time unabridged?

Did you take it down again or am I an idiot somehow?

Dolphin.

It's actually my file manager under Linux - it handles my hard drive files as well as FTP/SFTP/probably Windows fileshares

I miss the sub forum

I'd rather an active megathread in GD then an inactive subforum, personally.
