When I was busy a few months ago archiving the AOL download areas, I found some undocumented file areas full of AOL betas. I downloaded over 10gb of them.. at 100-200kb/s. There were more, but I figured the rest of the channel I was working with (related to archiveteam funnily enough) would get them... and then AOL killed the downloads back in January this year. (They probably still exist on the servers though - you can still get at the metadata!)

Anyway, I figured a friend of mine might want them; he said he did, so I uploaded them to him (at my crappy 768kbit/s upload speed it took an entire weekend!). Upon completion he said he no longer wanted them.

Um.

Anyway, I just contacted Jason Scott. Hopefully he'll be willing to wait a few days. Or I could just burn the file to a BD-R, I have a bluray burner and a spindle of BD-Rs somewhere that I've never used.

I find your lack of faith in the internet disturbing.


Haha.

(I really wish I had better upload speed.)
