Hi,

Awhile back, I offered to send off the gopher bot archive to anyone interested.

Well, I have finally had the time to assemble the data.

What I have is four DVDs worth of data.

The data has been tar'd, bzip2'd, and split'd. Each image contains two files, 1.9GB each. These simply represent the underlying raw bits of the tar ball. The very list disc is smaller, but I added onto it the source to my bot, the video interview with the UMN folks, and a pg_dump of my database tables for the bot.

The archive untars to approximately 30GB worth of data.

Unix users can copy the split'd files to their hard disk, then just cat *.0* | tar -jxvf -

You'll of course need quite a bit of free disk space to do that.

Windows users may have a tough time processing this. copy /b may be able to concatenate the files, but then you'll have to untar and unbzip2 it all. Plus, some of these directories contain colons, and may have more files per directory than Windows can handle well.

I am willing to:

1) Burn DVDs and send them free of charge to one person in the community that will promise to burn and distribute them to everyone else that wants copies;

or

2) Burn DVDs and mail them for some fee -- probably $15 or $20 per set -- to any address in the US for everyone that wants them. The fee would cover cost of the media, thin jewel cases, packing materials, postage, and anything left over could I guess be considered to go towards my time assembling it all.

Thoughts?
