Here's a torrent of all the images: https://ubuntuone.com/4VxOo5cnInZWQUEplIdb2c

Edit : I retract this comment. Having written my own script to fetch everything within the boundaries I suggested, I found that it didn't get any that weren't already in the torrent. Going by the other comments, I suspect this is missing some. vladoh claims there's even more stuff under the tunnels. Meanwhile, mayanksinghal points out the size of the array holding everything -- it appears north goes up to 14, and sou…

Randall still draws with pencil and paper, and draws "really big"; I really want to know how much paper area he used for this one :O

Bwahaha, upper left corner (waaaay up). I'm working at a small startup. Our business model is "taking free drinks from industry events and reselling them". Edit: Holy shit I had no idea how huge this was! I'd pay for a massive framed poster of this thing.

"Copy that Gold Leader. I'm already on my way out." with X-wing. And "Becky?" Deep in the caves.

my hacky way of killing Randall's server:

  curl --limit-rate 40K -O http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/\[0-100\]\{n,s\}\[0-100\]\{e,w\}.png
Then to remove all the 404s:

  find . -type f -size 345c -exec rm -f {} \;
Woo! No code.

I was having trouble downloading the torrent, so I wrote a little script to get it for me: https://gist.github.com/3748257 Warning: 6mb worth of files. Edit: Github repo with all the images and the script, so that people don't need to hammer the xkcd server: https://github.com/danielribeiro/xkcd_grab

Thanks for sharing! I was just going to do that myself, glad that now I don’t have to.

And folks can hammer github's servers instead by viewing the commit https://github.com/danielribeiro/xkcd_grab/commit/40f58f4d1a...
