Soon I'll also be providing the entire hn database for download. I have the db, but I have bandwidth concerns. Anybody willing to work with me who has bandwidth to share?
- davewiner 16y agoWhy not distribute it via BitTorrent?
- davewiner 16y agoBTW, I'm happy to help with bandwidth, if I can. :-)
- ronnier 16y agoGreat! I'll email you when I get home. It's a 300 MB compressed XML file. 1 GB uncompressed. Contains comments, links, postedby, dates, parentid, and so on.
- ronnier 16y agoThat's probably what I'll end up doing. Id like to have it updated daily, seems like with BT there would be older copies floating around with newer copies unseeded.
- ronnier 16y agoUPDATE: I'm now seeding the file. You can find the torrent at http://api.ihackernews.com/ http://api.ihackernews.com/
- templaedhel 16y agoWhat size is it?
- ronnier 16y ago300 MB compressed.
- templaedhel 16y agoThats not to bad, it would be a quick torrent. I was just reading about the 640.6gb torrent of all the 2010 world cup games, in HD, 12gb per game, and the geocites torrent which was also quite big.
