oh how i love you, internet archive

[piranha]

the internet archive is putting its collection up as torrents. that's over 1,000,000 books, audio, and video files to start with. i am so excited! i love the internet archive; i've gotten a lot of old books from there, and i am thrilled that i can help by seeding them now.

Wow, amazing! I can't torrent (puter too slow), but I love archive.org.

That's pretty wow. Now I've seen a Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movie!!

I can't quite work out their Usenet functionality -- they seem to be claiming that they have it but there doesn't seem to be a working interface. I've never figured out if I'm pleased or disappointed that Google doesn't have archives going back to my utter newbieness of the late 80's.
