Thanks for this background. What's the best way to download your data, or the feds data?

  Just go to the NHTSA FARS website.. here's the FTP: https://www.nhtsa.gov/file-downloads?p=nhtsa/downloads/FARS/ https://www.nhtsa.gov/file-downloads?p=nhtsa/downloads/FARS/

    Reposted to foil vandals: So we're slowly forgetting that FTP and HTTPS aren't the same thing.

      OP made a great contribution to the discussion. Going off on a cynical tangent over protocols is just noise, and adds nothing of value to the discussion.

      Yup. The same way "we're" being snarky for harmless absent-minded mistakes for no good reason.
      • msla 2y ago
        This comment is pure useless snark.
        • jahsome 2y ago
          That's the point. I'm using snark to demonstrate how useless using snark is. Clever, eh?

            So you admit you're being dumb on purpose. Go away.

      I mean theoretically everything is a file transfer protocol...
      • kmacdough 2y ago
        Nice try, but UDP is very much not a file transfer protocol.
        • bluGill 2y ago
          short files only, but it is file transfer. of course nothing stops you from doing like tftp and splitting files to reassemble.

    Thank you, that is very useful. In fact, the author of the website "I mapped almost every.." might want to add references to the data sources for credibility and less of a "spam" look. How about an About page. The splash photos on that website says it all.
