Big Blu Gnu

Guys, get out your Internet Archive accounts. A video game repository called Myrient is closing down tomorrow, and a staggering 390+ terabytes of data will disappear with it. I am currently saving webpages at /Eggman's Arcade Repository/!EXTRAS/. Unfortunately, nearly all the saves are 404 errors, even though the files can still be downloaded directly from the site, so we may need to upload them.

I assume this post is true. That's a relief. I am still saving whatever pages there are on the Wayback Machine.

@Big_Blue_Gnu People have been mirroring the whole thing in the past and apparently there are torrents and a Discord. I'm not on Discord and I don't even have a few hundred GB free disc space, so I can't comment on that but you could check: https://www.reddit.com/r/savemyrient/ for more info.

@chris That's basically found in https://mastodon.social/@geekrealmhub/116247151028344511. But yes, people have saved the site's contents.
