Full Wiki-backup 4 may '08 - NO Torrent :)
« on: May 05, 2008, 02:07:00 pm »

Anyone interested?
The full wiki is viewable offline this way, it is a copy of the wiki made on 4 may 2008.
The wiki is compressed into a .zip file, to around 250 megs, if you extract the wiki it will consist of roughly 600-700 megabytes.
If there are any problems, comments or anything, please say so in this tread.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Link to the torrent file (you need an program like utorrent or azureus to download):
- http://btjunkie.org/torrent/DwarfFortress-Wiki-4-may-08/290825838cde51e1aa   a15881179fffdae6115f6183ea
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

----> !IMPORTANT! <----
The torrent is no longer active, you can download this trough this link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=41481FHT
-----------------------

If any of this is prohibited, please tell so, I will delete all as soon as possible then.

Greetings,

Angellus.

Yay!
I always intended to ask if there was a(n easy!) way to download the complete wiki.
So uhm.. How did you do it? =)

Were I not on dial up, that would be so tempting.

Are you seeding this? All I see are two others who haven't gotten anything.

I am sorry to say that I have been having problems with my internet connection (being my parents) but I will seed for the whole day today   :)
Please seed yourself if you can. (once downloaded off course XD)

I did it with a website track copier, I let out any movies and files to keep the file size low so that's all information your getting.
After downloading the whole site I just compressed it thouroughly (that is probably spelled wrong XD)and used Azureus to make a torrent file of it.

It was made because I couldnt find a way to download it otherwise myself   :)

I might just upload it somewhere, but I cant find the right site (we all hate megaupload and rapidshare XD)


Greetz,

Nicolas.

Just made a megaupload link (sorry guys, but you have to bear with megaupload  :))
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=41481FHT

you may download it from here, should be a lot faster as the torrent.
Since the torrent is now unneccesairy, I will remove it, completely.

wkr,

Nicolas.

So, question, did the wiki change enough to make a new backup of it?

Might I suggest breaking it up into parts and putting it on MediaFire?  It only allows 100 MB per file, but I haven't seen any complaints directed towards it, so it seems pretty good.

I really dislike the idea of breaking a file up in multiple parts, I have had a few cases in which they worked perfectly before but after upload/download it would not work anymore.
Also it makes people NEED a program like winrar or 7-zip (last one is a recommendation  :)).
So thanks a lot for the idea, but I am more searching for somewhere to put it on instantly.

Does anyone know btw when there will be a new DF version out? or is it brought out as soon as finished? ^^

Probably handy because of the downtime of the wiki...

I really appreciate this, especially since the Wiki is down at the moment. Thanks for putting this together. Will be handy to stick on a thumb drive for when I have to travel.
