I'd love to be able to search those contents. I'm pretty sure I had a few Geocities sites, but I'm not going to download a terabyte to see if it's in there.

I imagine at least somebody will download to a server and host them all there. Might grab a new 1TB drive into one of my servers and do it if I'm bored enough...

Wow. This site is amazing. Tons of gems: http://www.textfiles.com/underconstruction/

His documentaries (Get Lamp and BBS) are also pretty interesting and well worth watching/purchase.

I for one will make this one torrent that I will perpetually seed until my ISP tries to stop me.

I've been doing that for the last 12 months, and the collection is significantly larger than that.
