I’d like to see the Commons backups available in the
AMZN S3 cloud, even
if it is only as “requester pays”. Frankly, my experience is that
getting data from the Internet Archive is so slow that I wonder if they
are on the Moon.
When did you try last time? They recently increased their bandwidth.
My infovore framework
AMZN has had a policy of offering free S3 storage for public data sets –
I’d like to see them take this program to the next level with data sets
of this nature.
It seems anyone can request it, anyway I sent an inquiry.
The datasets they have (XML dumps) are very outdated:
https://aws.amazon.com/datasets/Encyclopedic/4182
https://aws.amazon.com/datasets/Encyclopedic/2506
https://aws.amazon.com/datasets/Encyclopedic/2596
Everybody can ask to other mirrors (I already asked GARR), some ideas at
