That said, almost everything in hp_calc_torrent is already on the HHC USB Drive that you have, and most of it is duplicated from my torrents or elsewhere on my site anyway, and the hp_calc_torrent_u201805 has been reformatted and both hosted on my HP Museum Forum torrent and included on the USB drive.

Oh I didn't know (or I forgot). I was trying - the last time I spent some time on it was in 2019, since then i tried to keep things alive in the network - to get all the bits I could find online and put them there. I have the HPmuseum (although from pre 2018) and the PPC data (again pre 2018) and I remember there was some overlap but not that heavy. Maybe I checked wrongly. But you are right you formatted better the hpmuseum. So actually the 201805 data could be left on its own (I hope the attachments are there too on the formatte version!)

I kept the first post of this thread updated so the data is in 4 torrents.

1 base torrent, 1 extra too big (201805) and two small extras waiting for more work to be then merged.

as in the first post (as of 2022-06-02) the magnets are

Actually there is a 5th torrent not yet released, those are mostly documents but very few.

I still have all the data, but somehow the torrent clients that I used on the previous server crash continously on the new one (although the OS configuration is very close). I get 2-3 hours of running time and then crush and I didn't yet find the time to debug that.

I could put the data on onedrive or the like too, but that defeats the point of having a p2p shared approach that can persist over time with community efforts.

Eric many thanks that you donated 200 GB in upload for those collections! I remember I myself (the original source!) gave around 30 GB and not more. There are some torrents here https://www.hpcalc.org/torrents/ that on my previous system (the stable one) got much more data in output that the torrents I cared for. In particular hpcalc.org (although there was another peer that blasted be out of the way, I believe that was Eric himself. I could just give 300 Mb and then the client were already done and happy) and the one about the 41 calc (on that one there were more peers though).

I'll try to find a way. In the worst case I have to try mldonkey or transmission but I am not sure how they work with previous versions of cygwin (or I fire a little VM just for those, but I'd like to keep the maintainance down).
