Needing Help Saving the sli.mg Backups from archive.is ( pizzagate )

submitted by pupu

I've been downloading the sli.mg backups from archive.is, as suggested by a poster around this subverse, but there are 961 URLs to save and it's taking a lot of time. There are some URLs that are unrelated to this ongoing investigation, but a majority of it are. There are thumbnails and it's easy to spot which are and which aren't related, but if doubt strikes just check it to be sure.

I've stopped at URL 200. There are 761 URLs left to be searched through. If we split that among 10 or so people it would take a lot less time. Here's the archive.is page, starting from where I stopped: http://archive.is/offset=200/sli.mg

I'm saving the whole page (.htm file) so all images are downloaded at once. We can sort them individually later, this is just to make sure they're not lost.

I wish I could organize a little group to do this now but I'm not sure when I'll have to go, so I'll leave that open. Just state which page you're in, like "I'm from 201 to 250", so we don't download the same thing over and over. Afterwards we can upload it to some safe site (mega.nz comes to mind) and we can compile the whole thing.

How to use an Image Spider to download images in bulk from webpages: https://vid.me/zb84

Several of the image links are corrupt ? I guess removed by sli.mg? Those files will be blank. Oh and I left out the nude model pics, assuming they're not relevant :p

pupu

Thank you for the backups and for the video tutorial. Saddly, this method seems to be inneficient, as many pictures are indeed corrupted, although the pictures are still accessible through archive.is. Would it be possible to use a "crawler" to download all links from each archive.is page listed? This way all pictures are saved, as their source would be archive.is itself and not a dead sli.mg link.

Here's a zip file of all the ones after 200 ... (click the download with your browser option)

Used FoxySpider add-on in Firefox to get all the images at once (per page), very useful.
Some of the images errored, I think those are one sli.mg had already removed.

pupu

Much appreciated. I'm embarassed to say I'll have to leave soon and won't be able to upload the links from 1-200 at the moment. Your black magic would be welcome...

Sheilaaliens

Sure thing ;) I'm even putting together a little video so you guys can do it yourselves in the future. Will have 0 - 200 and video link added to this thread this evening.

pupu

Thank you, thank you a lot! Wish I could send you a pizza (real pizza)! See y'all later.

Sheilaaliens

lol no prob. posted the 0-200 link. I gotta stop eating pizza, seriously - have been ordering dominos a lot since researching this stuff - And I mean real dominos and actual food pizza xD i still associate the word with delicious food so have prolly gained 10 lbs since pizzagate began -_-

Sheilaaliens

I'm working on it... using an image crawler right now
update: I'm at the 500th url. will have some links for you in a bit

pupu

Thanks. I'm not that tech savvy.

How are you saving the entire page in full resolution? All I get are thumbnails.

pupu

As I understand it, you're saving the archive.is page showing the thumbnails. That's not the way to do it. Instead, click with the middle mouse button so a new tab opens. Go to this new tab, right click around that page, and choose "Save Page As...".

thestormking

I don't have a middle mouse button.

wecanhelp

Ctrl + left click.

So this means saving a bunch of random titty shots and shit unrelated to pizzagate, posted by people in other voat subverses, right?

pupu

Saddly, there's noise in there, but there are files related to PG there and we know things are being DMRC'ed on there. Simply get what you deem as useful to and is PG-related and ignore the "butterface"...

Save them all and package as a torrent if necessary. We are being shut down.

pupu

Please do it too if you can, it took me a lot of time. I understand we have to bring food to the table, but I think together we could tackle this and keep it rolling 24hrs a day.

Edit: torrent reveals your real IP, bad idea.

Way to lead Pupu. You rock. Upvoating and flairing "Important." Hopefully, some folks will jump in to help you shortly.

pupu

At first I thought you were sarcastic, then I'm realized I'm on voat! Thank you!
