sheep on archive.org

Electric Sheep Megapack 50a is now available on archive.org. I would like to eventually upload as much of the generation as i can to the archive, and then past generations too. i found even getting this one gigabyte was quite a chore since they require ftp, and my connection is not fast/reliable enough to transfer it flawlessly. I'll have to try it directly from the server...

i have in the past considered hosting sheep on archive.org, but i shied away from using a nonprofit with a serious mission. and they already unofficially kicked in a seeder now and then to "test some new gigabit links" (thanks!). but then the dreamhost account i was using to distribute the megapacks ran out of bandwidth and was shut down. a user suggested "why not use archive?" and i had no good excuse. to be clear, i am not pointing the robot army at archive.org, these are chunks of the past.

infinite gratitude to brewster and the archive! Posted by spot at December 4, 2007 09:17 PM
