Geocities.com archive dataset

[FatBit]

Dear Mr. "msmaniac",

could you be so kind and tell me how to download "Geocities.com archive data set"? I am not familiar with "torrent download" and appreciate any help (which software, settings etc.).

Sincerely yours,

FatBit

Short version: download the patched torrent file

EDIT: ahem... seems a dead torrent... I'll dig for a shared one...

and use a bittorrent client to download the 600GB file

Dear Mr. "fcorbelli",

many thanks, it looks like it works (transfer started). Now I have to find big empty disk and download…

Sincerely, FatBit

PS: I am relatively familiar with http, ftp, wget etc. I have never had reason to use bittorrent.
