- SquareWheel 15y agoIt would be nice if a torrent was available, but they couldn't exactly have it expire after 24 hours.
- blinkingled 15y agoDownloads seem to have slowed to the point where one 27.9 Mb issue is taking 1hr and 7 min to download. Looks like all of HN is taking advantage of this promo! BTW, the magazines are beautifully done, kudos!
- _ques 15y agofor i in `seq -w 19`; do echo "http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0"$i".zip"; done | xargs wget
- DannyPage 15y agoThanks for this! Considering how quickly it took someone to write a script to download them all (It is "Hacker" News, after all), I don't know why they didn't just release them all in one Zip file anyway. Or maybe someone could put a torrent together, given how much they are getting hammered. (2 hours for a 15.6 MB file, yikes!)
- sublimepua 15y agoThe download links of the page seem irregular, so I was trying to make a list. It looks like he kept all issues ordered on the server under another name though, one that fits this format.
- philfreo 15y agoIn parallel: for i in `seq -w 19`; do wget "http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0"$i".zip" & done wait
- sublimepua 15y agothis guy's servers must be crying.
- Dobbs 15y agoseq -w 19 | xargs -I{} -P4 -n1 wget "http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0{}.zip http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0{}.zip
- anthonyb 15y agoDon't download in parallel! No wonder his servers are crawling... No good deed goes unpunished, indeed.
- 15y ago
- sublimepua 15y agoThe servers are getting slashdotted. Anyone who has gotten all of them downloaded feel like making a torrent? Not for the purposes of piracy, of course, but just to spare this poor guy's bandwidth.
- jodrellblank 15y agoUse Coral Cache to spare his bandwidth, add .nyud.net to the end of the domain name and it will be routed through the CoralCDN (http://www.coralcdn.org/ http://www.coralcdn.org/). e.g. http://www.hackermonthly.com.nyud.net/blah/blah.zip http://www.hackermonthly.com.nyud.net/blah/blah.zip
- funkah 15y agoIf you manage to connect to the site, that is.
- wattjustin 15y agoAs a monthly subscriber, this is great to see! Hopefully this will lead some other subscribing as I think the price is well worth it. Wow, I sound like a salesman, but genuinely just a fan of well done work for our community. Thanks!

- callahad 15y agoMacs have curl, which can easily fill in for wget.
- gilligan 15y agoHm yeah..cool offer. But we need one of two things.. 1. server/bandwidth upgrade 2. time extension of the offer beyond 24h Or actually.. ideally both :)
- bearwithclaws 15y agoThe offer is actually 48hr to cover all timezones for Christmas :)
- zfran 15y agoPut a torrent up before your server melts down.
- modoc 15y agoI'm happy to mirror if anyone actually has the files.... I have tons of bw on a ton of big servers. devon@sparkred.com
- dangrossman 15y agoI thought of doing it, and I can't get to the webpage to see if there's a special license... barring one, redistributing would be copyright infringement which I'm not cool with. The HM folks would have to offer.
- modoc 15y agoIndeed. Sorry, my offer was intended to the folks who are actually making the offer, who have the steaming server:)
- desireco42 15y agoI think they have a sweet problem of being waaay to popular. And everybody likes free stuff. I meant to say they should use nginx, but apparently they are already using it, I guess that is why our connections are not getting dropped. Anyway, nice gesture, thank you HN!
- desireco42 15y agoI am getting all zips corrupted :(
- bearwithclaws 15y agoTry downloading 'em again. Should be fine now.
- MikeCapone 15y agoMaybe there's a way to put the archive in a file locker (like Megaupload) and delete it after 24 hours.. It's pointless to make the files free if /everybody/ tries to download them but /nobody/ actually gets to read the zine because the files time out..
- artursapek 15y agoMegaupload is terrible. Please encourage people to use Mediafire. http://www.mediafire.com http://www.mediafire.com
- mappu 15y agoWhy do you say that? Mediafire is usually my first choice too, but megaupload is a close second (mostly since you can use tessaract on the captcha, either manually or via jdownloader/plowshare) with all the ReCaptcha sites (filesonic/fileshare/wupload...) trailing behind.
- artursapek 15y agoThey're just distasteful and annoying. Check out Kim Kardashian hanging out on their home page. They make you wait for a download. And I've had problems with downloads always stopping at the same point no matter how many times I tried.
- mappu 15y agoI'm sure an adblocker could take care of things for you if you don't personally like the celebrities (the ads are definitely more tasteful than the GET RIPPED IN FOUR WEEKS ads i see on Mediafire now). Technically speaking it's still a good service, and i've had nothing but good experiences with downloads from there (mostly because i automate them). I accept that you can disagree but i wouldn't go as far as "terrible". I'm probably biased because i love the song, and Kim Dotcom donated to earthquake relief in my city...
- EwanG 15y ago
- dylanvee 15y agoThank you, Lim Cheng Soon! As a student I really appreciate the free year-long subscription you offer.
- desireco42 15y agoI could make a torrent but it is not mine to make it, I think HM owners should do this if they feel like it. I don't want to abuse their good will.
- pbiggar 15y agoI just bought the print subscription, after forgetting to the last few times I thought about it. Great marketing!
- roinsh 15y agoI'm also getting a print subscription while thinking "excellent marketing campaign!".
- evertonfuller 15y agoNot to plug, but welcome to upload mirrors (depending on the redist. rights of course) to http://Castle.so/ http://Castle.so/ :)
- tghw 15y agoHe posted a snap of his server logs: http://lockerz.com/s/167554725 http://lockerz.com/s/167554725 Ouch.
- gacba 15y agoI think the takeaway here is that if you're going to promote something on HN, put your downloadable content on AWS or some similar CDN first. When there are nerds involved, expect heavy turnout. Yowza.
- jqueryin 15y agoAlso, we're cheap. Really hope this works out in his favor and nets a few more signups. I'm interested to see the quality myself, as I've managed to hold off viewing or sampling any of these to date.
- jamesRaybould 15y agoSeems like perfect work fodder for me - If I manage to remember in the morning I'll be looking to sign up.
- mathrawka 15y agoOr upload to s3 and send out torrent links to it to save bandwidth costs.
- thebigshane 15y agoYeah, I think his biggest donation was one of AWS/S3 bandwidth. Much appreciated, thanks, Lim, I hope this gets you many new subscribers.
- nysv 15y agoIt's down. Anyone have a mirror?
- BlackJack 15y agoHe put some of them up on aws, probably more on the way. I was able to download 1,4,5,7,10,13, and 18. Just replace the "004" at the end with "001", or "010", etc. http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermonthly-issue004.zip http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo... Or in terminal just enter: wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermonthly-issue00{1..9}.zip http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo... wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermonthly-issue0{10..19}.zip http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo...

- kinkora 15y ago...and his server has officially crashed. I recommend not running anymore automated scripts directed towards his server. I'll try to chuck it onto mediafire once I get all the issues. Just missing 9 at this point.
- gmcabrita 15y agoHe's uploading them here: http://baconfile.com/bearwithclaws/ http://baconfile.com/bearwithclaws/

- jQueryIsAwesome 15y agoIf you want to download them all with one click (works in Chrome): http://jsfiddle.net/nGatG/ http://jsfiddle.net/nGatG/

- Legion 15y agoI'm surprised to discover Hacker Monthly still exists, after the iPad app simply stopped serving up new issues 7 months ago. What's that about?
- bearwithclaws 15y agoWas having some problem on AppStore in-app purchase submission (before Newsstand). Update to the app (along with new issues) coming soon.
- andreiursan 15y agointeresting that nobody posted Dropbox public URLs to the downloaded magazines.
- beagledude 15y agoThanks for the early Christmas present! I've been wanting to check out a subscription, being able to see the current content will push me over the edge.
- alexholehouse 15y agoI had never read Hacker Monthly. I will now probably subscribe.
- duck 15y agoIt is Christmas early... thanks Lim! Hacker Monthly is a great resource for the HN community, keep up the great work with it.
