| Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-06-14 13:40:32 lol, whut? | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2013-06-15 00:17:47 I think he meant to ask if you made sure there were no corrupted files. I assume you have 🙂 c | |

| Posted by: max1zzz on 2013-06-17 07:38:51 since it's up and down i'll set my server to make a compleat archive of it overnight. Then put them all back up online 😉 | |
| Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-06-17 11:13:28 It's an Akamai pool so it will be luck of the draw which server in the pool you connect to and if that server still has the files or not. If you're wget-ting the thing, be sure you don't have a bunch of 404's. | |
| Posted by: max1zzz on 2013-06-17 11:32:07 Yeah, i'm wget-ing it, and am getting a ton of 404's (and unfortunatley there is no way to force retry on a 404) Just gonna have to keep running over it till it gets everything (or manually fill the blanks....) Already on my third pass over it seem to be getting only 1 - 2 GB a pass, not sure how much there is in total | |
| Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-06-17 15:49:29 It looks like I have 2.7GB for these three: 1.1G Apple_Support_Area/English-North_American 347M Apple_Support_Area/English-International 1.2G Apple_Support_Area/MultiCountry ----- 2.7G Apple_Support_Area | |
| Posted by: max1zzz on 2013-06-17 16:12:40 i'm up to 8.62GB, which is proabley about right then Going through and doing individual wgets of each directory, then i will do a manual compare..... interestingly i have slightly less than you for english_north_american (1.0GB) but more for english_international (365mb) Got the same for MultiContry (1.2GB) EDIT: Looks like i have a compeleat mirror now, will put it up somewhere tomorrow, then will do a manual compare | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-06-17 19:25:54 I myself would also be pulling down a copy, if only I didn't suck at using wget. | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2013-06-17 19:27:07 Would the moderators object to having one of us host a private, by invitation only mirror of this? If there's no objections, it would be superb. I would volunteer, but a) I don't have the bandwidth (and our ISP won't allow servers) and B) there's plenty of other people for whom this would be simpler. c p.s. I guess I should try downloading it for myself, at the very least. | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-06-17 19:38:26 What you do outside of the forum is your own business, but keep in mind that it should not be affiliated with the forum in any way. | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2013-06-17 20:52:21 Of course not! I'm just saying that it's a private affair for MLA members only, and it would be completely unrelated to the forum otherwise (it would be hosted separately from the forum, probably by which ever member(s) volunteer to make it happen). Is this acceptable? c | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-06-18 03:02:49 You can tell people about it privately, you can tell people about it via other means (say, Google+ or Twitter), but not on the forums. | |
| Posted by: max1zzz on 2013-06-18 03:43:53 Well, i shall be hosting a copy (which of coarse will be elseware, and not related to here in any way). I personally will not be limiting it to a invite only basis, there's plenty of people out there who use this resource for restoring macs, but would never find it if it was invite only. If anyone else is wanting to pull down there own copy just contact me and i am happy to help you in creating your own archive of it 😉 | |
