Madi Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 According to Archive.org: FTP site capture of FTP.ATARI.COM upon news of bankruptcy and sale of this iteration of the company. Includes demos, patches, and information files. Downloaded using WGET on July 16, 2013.. I was tempted to download this huge FTP site and see what is hidden inside. Unfortunately, the FTP size is beyond my internet connection speed (26.3G) Did any one have a look at it before?

Mclaneinc Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Hmmmm... Same ad Madi....Anyone looked? 26gig isn't the issue its just if its full of already released stuff on other sites? Waiting 6hrs to find that out is a bit annoying?

Timothy Kline Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hmm... All I'm seeing (for now, until I download it after work this evening) is: x-archive-meta-description: FTP site capture of FTP.ATARI.COM upon news of bankruptcy and sale of this iteration of the company.

Timothy Kline Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The WayBackMachine has a snapshot of Atari.com a week or so before the archive, and based on what I'm seeing, my best guess is that the contents of the 26gb zipfile is a collection of demos of the then-current offerings-- and not anything 8-bit necessarily. https://web.archive.org/web/20130708143954/http://www.atari.com/ --Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that what you are reffing to is a WWW.ATARI.COM AFAIK, the FTP is a file server and not GUI based site. (file transfer only). Therefore, the contents may differ. madi Edited September 26, 2016 by Madi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link : https://archive.org/download/ftpsite_ftp.atari.com_2013_07 madi I'm downloading it now, but the site must be metered, I am only getting 50% of my rated speed so it will take about 3 hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My presumption about the contents was based on what I was seeing on the HTML site and it made reasonable sense (to me) that the ZIP will contain demos and patches for the software offered via the website at the time of the creation of the archive, and not necessarily software from that iteration of Atari. --Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Speed isn't consistent. I'll let you guys know as soon as the download is done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for taking the hit Stephen, looks like it was all new PC stuff... Sorry it seems to have been a bit of a time waste.. Paul.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madi Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Thank you Stephen Although, it did not come as our wishes, still we didn't expect something out of the ordinary. For me (and guess for others as well), it is another proof that you always try your best to be available for Atari community. Helping others is a blessing. madi Edited September 26, 2016 by Madi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 No worries guys - nothing was wasted. I just let everything run in the background while I was working. I do think I'll be deleting the archive though. Maybe I'll burn it to a Blu-Ray disc - I think they hold 25GB. I've had the burner for almost 3 years and never used it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
