He put some of them up on aws, probably more on the way. I was able to download 1,4,5,7,10,13, and 18. Just replace the "004" at the end with "001", or "010", etc.

Or in terminal just enter:

wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo...

wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo...

Maybe there's a way to put the archive in a file locker (like Megaupload) and delete it after 24 hours.. It's pointless to make the files free if /everybody/ tries to download them but /nobody/ actually gets to read the zine because the files time out..

I'd be happy to host on s3 but I have 12 hours left on the download (772b/sec), if anyone is interested email me (email in profile).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The loop can be replaced with bash's brace expansion ( http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Brace-E... ), e.g. wget http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0{01..19}.zip

Wow, never knew about that. Due to zero-padding, I found I actually needed two commands for this to work properly: http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue00{1..9}.zip http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0{10..19}.zip

Try:

$ wget http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue{001..19}.z...

He posted a snap of his server logs: http://lockerz.com/s/167554725 Ouch.

I think the takeaway here is that if you're going to promote something on HN, put your downloadable content on AWS or some similar CDN first. When there are nerds involved, expect heavy turnout.

Yowza.

Megaupload is terrible. Please encourage people to use Mediafire. http://www.mediafire.com

Why do you say that? Mediafire is usually my first choice too, but megaupload is a close second (mostly since you can use tessaract on the captcha, either manually or via jdownloader/plowshare) with all the ReCaptcha sites (filesonic/fileshare/wupload...) trailing behind.

They're just distasteful and annoying. Check out Kim Kardashian hanging out on their home page. They make you wait for a download. And I've had problems with downloads always stopping at the same point no matter how many times I tried.
