Does someone have a mirror of mac.the-underdog.info? I have quite a lot of mirrors on my disk, but this one is missing 🙁 .

yeah, sadly you came to late with the script 🙂
what other mac related mirros do you have?

Here is a list, the first number is the size of the compressed archive in megabytes:

I don't mirror everything, usually only parts of certain sites. If there is an archive www.university.org.tgz it might be that inside you only find http://www.university.org/~user/private/mac/.
Also i skip forums, blogs and other such content.
You remember what we talked about, the script that would everyone allow to make their own set of mirrors? I did some initial work and it seems to work fine so far. However, it's not finished yet 😉 .

Good point. I've found that downloading forums/blogs with wget takes up a lot of time, as there are literally thousands of files, and there's really not a lot of point in archiving those.

Indeed. Since most websites use more or less all the same backends (phpbb2 or 3, wordpress, mediawiki to name just a few), my script could be clever enough to recognize such parts and only download the lean ,,meat''.
Oh, and i switched from tar.gz to info-zip to rar. A website archive compressed with tar.gz needs to be uncompressed when i try to access any files. Wich sucks if the archive has hundreds of megs.
Info-zip seems to have a problem with zip-files bigger than 2 gigs on Debian Lenny, wich is a joke, considering that we are in 2009 and operating systems are internally 64 bit safe for a decade 🙂 .
Then i tried afio, cpio and finally rar, wich seems to work perfectly on top of posix and win32.
If time permits i can present something to test on osx in the mid of the week. [😀] ]'>

Nice one. In the mean time, I've archived about 19GB of stuff, mostly Mac software. 😛
