Did any of you actually see the content?
I downloaded one of the sites in the torrent titled Zombies. It's about a British girl who organizes a community effort to make a Zombie Movie. Sure the site was ripped but not the video content. Nothing on the page is worth seeing other than the video. Once the BBC turns off access to that stream the archive is virtually useless. I'm going to checkout more ripped sites; my gut says they're probably video heavy too.
- jsskate 16y agoI've looked at it a bit more. All the smaller sites are just place holders for lesser important topics or for streaming BBC shows. Sure the torrent saves some user comments (not all) and images (not all, some links are broken) but there's not really a lot of meat since that content is periphery. I'd say that most of the valuable content is still stored on the BBC servers, in the DB where it's being served from right now. I'm sure they're going to repurpose the good stuff if they haven't already. I have an acquaintance who works in the web department at the CBC. They've implemented a pretty neat CMS to repurpose their older media to work with their latest site. I can see the BBC doing the same.
