Mention the Internet Archive, and our minds race back to the Wayback Machine, or its public domain treasure trove, or the broadcast news museum. Jason Scott, however, believes that we should be paying attention to what he thinks is now the biggest collection of software and software writing anywhere in the world. Thanks to the recent addition of collections like the Shareware CD Archive, FTP Site Boneyard, Classic PC Games and others, the site can now boast of some impressive exhibits, including an original Apple I manual. Scott now says he’s considering improving the collection’s metadata so that future generations of online treasure-hunters will actually be able to find stuff.

The Internet Archive Has Now Saved a Whopping 10,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes of Data
Posted in: Today's Chili
If you try to think about how big the Internet is, and how much data it contains, the results are mind-boggling. That hasn’t stopped the Internet Archive from trying to collect it all though, and now they’ve hit a big milestone: 10 petabytes. That’s 10,000 terabytes, or 10,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. It’s a bit.

Wish you could spend your evenings and weekends reliving the halcyon days of broadcast news? You should head on over to the Internet Archive. Founder Brewster Kahle has collected TV news from 20 major channels since 2009, and is making them available online from today. The archive stretches from the 24-hour CNN through to The Daily Show — with whole episodes available to rent for a fee of $50 per disc. Kahle’s planning to add additional years in reverse chronological order at least back to 2002, since that’s when closed captioning (which the system uses to catalog the footage) was introduced. Unless, of course, we all fancy transcribing an hour or two of Channel 4 News circa 1975 to help out.

Internet Archive makes 1 million public-domain files available with BitTorrent
Posted in: Today's Chili 
The Internet Archive is making over a million pieces of archived content available through BitTorrent. The site’s collection of public-domain books, audio and video is being added and tracked — with Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy, Plan 9 From Outer Space and Night of the Living Dead among the top 25 most popular downloads. Unfortunately, it’ll be a while until Manos: The Hands of Fate falls out of copyright, but it’s something we’ve got to look forward to.
