new backup available
The first new backup since December 2005 is now available. As usual, it comes in two parts:
sm_main.zip contains the essential elements (HTML and a few frequently used images) and occupies 69,672,886 bytes.
sm_media.zip contains copies of attachments and images that appeared inline within posts. It occupies 444,244,132 bytes.
Some threads appear to have a sort of display glitch at the end, probably because the HTML hasn't been cleanly manipulated. Please let me know if you
encounter other problems.

The downloads work fine for me. What error do you get, and what browser/OS are you using?

Solo, only attachments that appear in the regular public forums are included. There are no posts or attachments from References, Whimsy, or Detritus
included. I might be able to do a backup of References too, but that archive would be distributed separately, probably with a link within References.

I am using Internet explorer. It says: Internet explorer cannot download sm_media. zip (or sm_ain.zip if I click on it). An unexpected error has
occurred.

Don't. Get Opera, or FireFox; both have no trouble downloading the files.

Any chance of getting a current backup ?
There has been a lot of useful information posted
since last years backup , and it should definitely
be archived and distributed as insurance against
data loss .

Yes, so where are the new ones? No pressure or anything...
You know what would be great? A way to automatically update the archive every month or so... So people can update their archives every so often just
in case. That would take up a lot of bandwidth though. I doubt whoever hosts this site gives unlimited bandwidth (ironically, I have unlimited
bandwidth on my DSL account... That's a max of 60kb/s upstream though. So, at that speed my BW in a month would be... 160GB, not bad. Downspeed
would be much better at a max of 350kb/s. That's nearly 1TB a month downstream). If I had a static IP I would be more than willing to host the
archives and maybe even a few articles and whatnot. It would have to be limited to 20kb/s to 2 people at a time though. Anyway, just pipe dreams.

that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think,
free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress." -J. Robert Oppenheimer
