...and his server has officially crashed. I recommend not running anymore automated scripts directed towards his server. I'll try to chuck it onto mediafire once I get all the issues. Just missing 9 at this point.

He's uploading them here: http://baconfile.com/bearwithclaws/

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. http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo... Or in terminal just enter: wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo... wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo...

I got 1,4,5,7,10,13,16,17,18,19

EDIT: 14 and 15 are up

list is at http://baconfile.com/bearwithclaws/ although that's getting hammered pretty hard as well at the moment

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I'm sure an adblocker could take care of things for you if you don't personally like the celebrities (the ads are definitely more tasteful than the GET RIPPED IN FOUR WEEKS ads i see on Mediafire now).

Technically speaking it's still a good service, and i've had nothing but good experiences with downloads from there (mostly because i automate them). I accept that you can disagree but i wouldn't go as far as "terrible".

I'm probably biased because i love the song, and Kim Dotcom donated to earthquake relief in my city...

015 is up now as well.

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

Bash is smart:

    $ echo {01..20}
    01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
    $ echo {1..20}
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Here's a Python script I threw together to automate this: https://gist.github.com/1515666

At this point, it looks like 1, 4, 5, 7, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 have been put up on S3.

You can use %03d instead of %s and the number will be zero padded to 3 digits.
