Hello !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I intend to upload an archive of a website I scraped for the last few weeks. The torrent is about 4 TB large and contains 400000 folders which in turn contain 40 .jpg’s on average (plus some metadata).
Should I just create the torrent with the files as they are right now, or should I put the individual folders in archives (or maybe even the entire torrent?)?
Thanks in advance
Leave them as is. I hate having to deal with archives inside torrents unless there’s a very good reason for them.
Jpeg is already compressed, so compressing them again won’t do anything but make it impossible for people to selectively download just the image/folder they desire.
Metadata on the other hand sounds like text files, which compress very well. Wether the space savings is worth it is hard to answer without more info. I’d personally lean towards not archiving it.
wow, dedication bud, few weeks to web rip. well done. true pirate here. tx 4 ur service. I’d love to know which site. 😛 feel free to DM me. I’m curious.
NGL this style of writing looks like a fed trying hard to look like a l33t h4xer arrrgh.
CIA is just an information gathering agency with no legal power, the FBI has the authority to make arrests.
Why not both?
I’d put it all in a single archive.
