    Here's a little discovery from 's collection - 'Adventure Games in the Classroom' (1987) complete with lilting chillwave background music! cc

    Funny story about this game: it basically doesn't exist. The company was pivoting away from the Apple ][ right as it was going to production. The number of copies sold rounds to zero.

    There's the cutest little digital preservation of art thread going on the last two days and I'm sending my love to everyone stumbling around down there.

    Looks like BANDWIDTH BUSTERS has gotten a free teaching assistant. Works for me!

    If you just want to watch them online, or walk the collection before you download (but you really should trust me, it's fantastic), you can visit the collection here:

    I'll happily answer technical questions for BANDWIDTH BUSTERS throughout the series, so if you were holding back with questions, don't hold back. You can DM me if you prefer, or mail jscott@archive.org. Or ask here!

    If you downloaded all of COMPUTER CHRONICLES with no problems, let's let the rest of the class catch up. Use this command in a directory you've called "FRUiTS Magazine": ia download --search=collection:fruitsmagazine --no-directories --glob=*.pdf And read until tomorrow.

    The command to download all of COMPUTER CHRONICLES is here: ia download --search=collection:computerchronicles --format=MPEG2 Add --no-directories if you want to just put all the MPEG files in one big directory, instead of 559 subdirectories.

    The episodes on the Internet Archive are MPEG-2 files pulled from the original master tapes, held by Stewart Cheifet, and are each over a gigabyte in size. Some of them are shorter segments in the collection, so we're only talking a few hundred gigs here.

    Let's start with a light jog: The entire run of COMPUTER CHRONICLES (1983-2002), a priceless set of computer history - it was a 30 minute computer TV show that walked people through the shank of a lot of amazing technology.

    I'm going to assume you're using the client, or you're VERY comfortable with dealing with the weirdness of browser downloads, or, in cases of a single item, using the torrent download for that item to grab it.

    Example: To download over 70,000 Japanese Electronics Manuals in PDF form, into your current directory, this command: ia download --search=collection:manuals_electronics_japanese --no-directories --glob=\*.pdf Will just do it. It's going to be a few hundred gigs, of course.

    A lot of people like using WGET or even RIGHT-CLICKING to get items off the archive, and that does work, for sure - but you will get the derivatives and other generated items as well, which you probably want to clean after. That's annoying. Going big? Learn the client.

    THE BANDWIDTH BUSTER TOOLKIT: The best way to interact with en masse is the Internet Archive Client, a command-line program that will use our API and allow you to do mass actions and downloads with incredible ease.

    By the time I'm done you're going to be through a few terabytes of content, so plan accordingly. I'm also going to teach you how to mass download off the Archive for what I'm highlighting. Let's go!

    Normally, I try to focus (and the archive tries to focus in presentation) on ways to view the items so that you get them fast and on nearly any connection, be it modem, phone, cable or more. But not this time - we're going full tilt, so be prepared or get off the ride.

    Throughout February, I'm going to be highlighting JASON SCOTT'S BANDWIDTH BUSTERS, a collection of single items and collections of items that will take most people forever to download, and will absolutely fill their hard drive. You're going to need a bigger drive for this one!

    Here's a shoutout to Walt Disney Animation Studios artist Jin Kim. His artwork is really phenomenal and he was able to make some fantastic character designs for the Disney Revival films. He's the reason why all of the modern animated Disney characters look great in 2D and CGI.
