I use Linux and had to re-compile libewf from source because the default is limited to something small and it hard coded. This image is almost 1tb so it won't work. Joy.
Torrents only bring a file to your computer. On the other hand, if you have Word and Excel macros automatically enabled and open a doc, you are at risk, or if you click on an unknown EXE file you could be at risk. There is no problem with opening PDF, MP3, M4A, MP4, AVI files.
Thank you. I just tried again and there are plenty of seeds available now (>65). Both files are flying in for me too. ETA showing ~40 mins. I'll continue to seed them also once they're complete.
17.45 Gigs. and 17.23 Gigs. Unless you are offering to be a torrent seeder or you know what the heck you would be looking at there is no reason to download all that.
yea, but those are game files with video. These files are text files. Millions of pages. of course there is on problem downloading them but what the heck are we going to do with them once we got them?
How would we even start.
I have a hard enough time reading everything here on one page lol
Completely agree with you on this. I am just thinking that it is important that these files are available but I don't think these files are going to help the average guy.
Sort of like looking at just the code of a massive game file.
The term "it's Greek to me" isn't enough. I would be able to figure out Greek before I could figure out those files. lol
36gb is large? I could load both images in memory and still have enough space for your mom. lol
Seriously. Get some real hardware. My workstation is a HP z820 with dual Xeon with 128gb of memory, 2tb of nvme, 32gb SSD boot drive, 24tb of sas raid5, and a 1gb connection to the internet. It took all of 20 minutes to get these files. Now off to convert them to VMs.
I guess most missed what I was trying to say. So that means I messed up.
Of course like you said downloading 36gb is no big deal. I could download it in a few minutes to an hour at most.
I was not referring to the size of the computer file. I was referring to the size of the actual text files.
My computer can easily handle it.
I cannot easily handle it.
If these 36gb are just text files we are looking at something like millions of pages. I believe that 1gb is equal to about 900,000 pages of text.
It appeared to me at the time that people couldn't wait to download those files to read for themselves.
I did a poor job of trying to let people know these text files are massive. Not something that most will be able to make sense of.
Believe me, I am glad these files are available. At one time Q said not everything they post is for anons. In the same way these files are not meant for me. lol
Magnet link #1 = 17.45 Gigs

(Stalled for me w/ 5 seeds showing)
Working great for me now: 36 peers and 80mb/sec.
Can't wait to convert these bitches to VMs.
Yep... they came in great for me earlier too. Seeding both now, and will hopefully have time to start looking them over later.

Anyways, here's how:
https://github.com/libyal/libewf/wiki/Building
Do synclibs.sh & autogen.sh then the edit this file:
Then it's just ./configure, make, sudo make install
I advise anyone to only open these in a sandbox. Torrents are not safe.

Might wanna double check PDFs. They can be malicious.
Get a real OS.
Magnet link #2 = 17.23 Gigs

(Stalled also... w/ 6 seeds showing)
Woke up with both complete so im seeding. Anyone extracted them and started poking around? Not a windows guy so

seeding...
Not for me. Oh well, I guess I'll just let it sit until a slot opens up with someone seeding. 😐

Why not? Anyone should be able to mount them and take a look if they wanted to?
It's freaking huge. That's the only reason
That isn't that big these days.. random game installations can be hundred gigabytes.
Yep, when I saw that DOOM (2016) was a 55GB download I asked my dad if he remembered how DOOM 2 came on 5 1.44MB floppies back in the day.

I mean the text in 17gb (each) is huge.

Well, these files are huge. One file is 18gb compressed zip that becomes 23gb ewf1 file, that is a 100gb filesystem.
But the gold is a 72gb MS SQL database.
Believe me, I am glad these files are available. At one time Q said not everything they post is for anons. In the same way these files are not meant for me. lol
Yep, I agree. Ron (CM) thought torrents was the way to go with this. I'm at 0.0% x 2. Checking them again in the morning to see if it gets any better.
Yes, both are still stalled here.
Needs more seeds the few there are seem to be super-bogged down.
??
Has anyone gotten to play around with these? Are they the forensic images from this morning?
