I've gobbled hours of Cspan videos with youtube-dl. Turns out cspan is a hodgepodge of like 3-5 video hosting and codec schemes, but it is able to pull about a 3rd of them no problem. Definitely forking it, I need this to continue my research.

Hope you can find a way to fork it. GitHub has disabled the repo and many forked repos.

  The beauty of `git clone` is that there are copies of the repository on many thousands of hard drives (including mine -- last pulled a few days back). The main loss at this point is the metadata stored in GitHub's proprietary addons, like issues. We can hope this inspires a) greater suspicion toward proprietary players that are sitting atop open-source work like GitHub (they're not the only one by any stretch); and b) greater adoption of systems that distribute the software's entire history together, including documentation and bug reports, e.g. Fossil.

    If no-one else has anything more recent, would you be ok to put yours online somewhere for others to grab?

      Turns out it's not needed. There are up-to-date ones already around. eg: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24873953 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24873953

    I'm the Founder of BackHub and that's one of the reasons why we offer backups for GitHub repositories, incl. the metadata! Reach out for a discount.

      Do either store issues as objects in the repo itself?

        Do you know of any systems that do this? Seems like a good idea.

        I really like https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket for this.
