@aerofreak I'm kind of hoping one of the people downloading and archiving government sites is aware of this one and scrapes it.

Wget is kind of inefficient.

@michael_martinez I've got most of it. Give me a day or two for the hosting.

@michael_martinez I've got it. It's about 120GB of data, mainly tif files and a couple of pdf reports.

@vwbusguy Let me know when you've got it online. I'll edit my original post, which has been boosted a few times.

@vwbusguy I've added the link to my original post.

At least some of it is preserved on the Wayback Machine.

@angelastella Unfortunately, it only takes a simple change to a site's "robots.txt" file or directives to remove copies from the Wayback Machine. It's not a good substitute for a site the fascists in Washington want to take down.

@michael_martinez @blogdiva Rather, *I* didn't set it up. I asked someone on the Archive Team to set it up. 😁

After I asked them to add it to the queue for full archiving, they noticed that they're missing a bunch of other subdomains from globalchange.gov, so they're going to search for those and add them to the queue, as well.

@ramsey @blogdiva Thanks for the update. I hope the fascists don't figure out how to use a "robots.txt" file. But it sounds like they're too busy to care about such details.
