[Wikitech-l] "Tarballs" of all 2004-2012 Commons files now available at archive.org

[Federico Leva (Nemo)]

WikiTeam has just finished archiving all Wikimedia Commons files up to 
2012 (and some more) on the Internet Archive: 
https://archive.org/details/wikimediacommons
So far it's about 24 TB of archives and there are also a hundred 
torrents you can help seed, ranging from few hundred MB to over a TB, 
most around 400 GB.
Everything is documented at 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_Wikimedia_project_XML_dumps#Media_tarballs> 
and if you want here are some ideas to help WikiTeam with coding: 
<https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/issues/list>.
