Download BotB: Torrents for Entries by Year w/ Tagged MP3s

78279

Hey all! this is the official unofficial hub where you can get all of BotB's files. I'm currently in the progress of scraping all the files and mp3 renders off the site using my scraping program
i wrote in python.

The tracker is my personal tracker, udp://sav.estate:6969, and it's set to only whitelist torrents i give it! so don't think you can use it for whatever haha. additional private trackers would be baller, and I would update the magnet links to include them if you let me know that you're tracking these here botb files. (if you'd like to do what I did, I built opentracker in whitelist mode)

As of now, only a few years are available, but more are downloading and will be available as they progress.

Please note that each year is the BotB year, starting on May 11th
2005 (1-83)
2006 (84-1035)
2007 (1036-1728)
2008 (1729-3060)
2009 (3061-4049)
2010 (4050-5599)
2011 (5600-7156)
2012 (7157-9790)
2013 (9791-13675)
2014 (13676-17747)
2015 (17748-21763)
2016 (21764-current)

I'm donloading all the files to my computer 1st, and when they're done, I'll be putting them on a hard drive to give my pi the responsibility of seeding

thank u botb api

78284

Neat! I'll do my best to seed whenever I can.

How big do you think the whole thing will get?

78287

Last I heard, the db sits around 70gb rn

78306

Just got a bunch of input/output errors on my torrents and i dunno why, I'm gonna switch out my client for a different one and update the magnet links.

status: _{not updated yet (will edit when updated)} it should be updated now !!!

edit maybe not ...

78316

thank u !! still not updated. ive fallen into the black hole of trying to compile transmission from source w qt 4 in windows haha

78318

ok !! I think it's working. if someone can confirm that's be super sick

78321

Can't confirm, my torrents are stuck at seeding to/downloading from 0 peers.

Old torrents are timing out requesting for peer list and are stuck at 0 peers, new ones are finding 1-2 peers only and are not donloading anything.

I also noticed the magnet links changed, what's up with that?

78322

i had to redo the torrents, my old client f'd them up. and i realized i forgot to click the play button on my new torrents just now haha oops

ok ! all the links below should be working

78323

Can confirm now, donloads are going now, ty

78330

Can't wait to get home on Sunday so I can get my google fiber involved in this peer sharing!

78463

have a few bugs i gotta work out before i can donload the rest. might not be until next weekend tho, mega busy

78464

Also just got back from streaming a tournament so my computer is unhooked rn, I'll have it back up in the morning

78465

Gall durnit Savestate! I got home, donloaded 27% of the 1st one, 19.9% of the 2nd, and none of the rest!! ;-;

[EDIT] and then 30 minutes later they all kick and work!

78466

I'm doing my part!

Also I'm contemplating whether or not I should keep my computer on overnight for seeding. Haven't been so far since nobody's been donloading until today.

78467

this is amazing

78468

I'm currently downloading, 2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2011. Can someone tell me on IRC when the next batches are ready, please?

I've setup a server for seeding from US East location, it should help the swarm, but I will need to know when more torrents are available.

78469

i am now doing my part

78475

this is all i could want and more
thank u people

78478

ok ! worked out a small bug, 2010 and 2012 are donloading!

78479

adding this to my collection of implausibly large
music archives
that i am trying to sift through

edit: also thanks to this project for giving me ~150 points in the last 2-3 hours

78539

some of these tags are questionable or missing :(

edit: hold on, maybe just missing. i synlinked the wrong folder for a sec

edit 2: yeah, just missing. all of 2005 was untagged for me as well as these tracks from 2007:

78545

Strange, I'll look into it when I get back to my apartment! When fixed I'll make two patches, one for 2005 and one for 2007 (both in a single torrent)

78546

Ah wait, that'd break the torrent altogether. I'll just redo 2005 and 2007. might as well rip off that bandaid before these torrents are too mature

78563

you should notate that they were updated at the top for people, pls & thx savstat :*

78567

I'm humbled. I'm very aware and conscious of the size of the db of entries on the site. This puts it right in ya face!

baron&et al I'll forever be thankful, you have no idea.
also baron&et all you have made a great community.

78582

HAHA we haven't even gotten to the BIG years yet
2013 and forward are gonna be HUGE

78584

i haven't updated them yet actually ! i ended up going to bed almost immediately after getting home last night haha whoops. you'll see the *updated notation when they have been.

78585

btw if you managed to download 2010, that's the DHT working, thank u technology for bein awesome (haven't added the hash to the whitelist yet on my server [also probably gonna be done sometime this weekend, along w fixing the missing tags])

78605

*sighs*
https://github.com/Savestate2A03/botb-scraper/pull/1

Here you go.

Also I can host HTTP thing if you want.

78779

finally got around to looking at the files. .. the files are all tagged properly on my end. maybe they're tagged in a strange way ?? hmm gonna look into this

78781

i tried three different programs to make sure it wasn't just one screwin up and they all didn't show any tags for those particular files

edit: if no one else has this problem then it's safe to assume i just bought the wrong kind of mushrooms at the grocery store

78789

Yeah I'm seeing tags on those some of those entries Jangler listed.

79026

d/ling 2010 now to the aforementioned seed server.

thanks for your awesome work

79028

haha I see you donloading at over 3MiB/s!!!

79045

Waking up at 4am and Working full time has made me super tired during the week @--x
Sorry for the delay on the rest of the torrents!!! This weekend is pretty filled too so it might be two weeks before I get back around to it. Sorry for such a long delay ):

79911

its still on the backburner ! lots of things i have on my todo list right now though

81436

cough

81450

You should get that cough looked at, Electronoob

92758

buuuump ;p

92759

|дﾟ)… i should make botb pirate radio if this project comes back

92771

I'll look at these when I get a chance. It'll be nice to dwell head first into the history of this site.

92776

one day i'll finish this ...

92825

Please do finish. *sniff*

106340

Your tracker seems to be ded

106460

yeah i stopped paying for my servers.
keffie, remind me this weekend and i'll try to get dyndns setup on my server @ home and get this going again (and continue downloading the entries)

139572

Idk how necessary this would be (since you have this whitelist in the client - edit: and maybe the client even show them itself?), but a page with stats on leechers and seeders?

139582

i've never ran a server before
but it just handles the p2p connections?
i might be able to run it on my aws bot account
if its not too resource intensive
i have bandwidth limitations at my house (shared by 3 people)
so i'm not sure how much i can seed

139621

😳 lemmie see if i have the files anywhere still also lol

139622

ok cool i still have all the files.

i'll have gigabit internet when i get settled in sweden so i can seed the torrents then, but that won't be until the end of june.

trackers aren't very resource intensive puke, you'll wanna make sure to make it whitelist only though, then give it the hashes of the magnet links below. i can update the urls to point to your tracker whenever that happens.

147946

Any updates on this?

221325

booooo they're not being seeded :(

221343

Holey shit didn't know this topic was getting any updates. If any of the BotB tracker comes up with torrents lemme know, I have a guy on standby to keep em going.

221364

arceus thread bump++

221520

i have the files for 2005-2010, i downloaded them back when this thread was new. how can i seed these?

221730

@Flaminglog The tracker has to be up so that when you push data from the .torrent file other people can get it. Do you have the original files along with the torrent?

221736

I still have the files, if someone can figure out the tracker deal I can start seeding whenever I'm available.

221742

my understanding is that a tracker is something you can have to distribute information about torrents but it's not strictly necessary anymore since we have magnet links that can do that for us with DHT magic or whatever. qBittorrent even has a built in torrent creator that lets you upload stuff right then and there without having to type in a tracker.

Flaminglog, if you're saying you've got those files sitting around, but not set up in a torrent client, you wanna go download qBittorrent 'cause it rocks, and then you wanna open the magnet links in there, and it should tell you the directory where they're gonna download. then you gotta put those 2005-2010 files in that directory and the progress bars should fill up and it'll say Seeding, if nothing changes select the torrents and right click > Force recheck. and then I'll download them and we'll be seed buddies.

now, like Juan said, none of this will work if the magnet links aren't working. it says Downloading metadata for me, and if that never finishes, we need to find someone that saved them as .torrent files, which might only be Savestate. or funute? you got them?

221744

savestate doesn't have them, so if none of you can dig up the torrent files we will just have to have one of you generate some new ones which isn't really a big deal, but it would be nice to find the originals

221759

one more tidbit: the torrents actually show up on btdig https://btdig.com/search?q=botb

221806

Yeah the magnet links on btdig don't ever finish retrieving metadata for me. I don't have any .torrent files either, I checked this on Wayback Machine and I think they were only released via magnet links.

I just made new torrents/magnet links with the files, pointed to opentrackr. They have different BTIHs (tried different piece size options, none matched) so the previous magnet links won't work. I guess Flaminglog or anyone who had the files downloaded can verify that I have the same files if they start seeding.

2005

2006

2007

2008

2009

2010

2011

Will be seeding for at least an hour or so from the time of posting this comment, after that seed will be available whenever I'm around.

The .torrent files in case: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q5US7eE25WYIiGmh8BprgOy_eve_1HCu/view?usp=drive_link

221808

kewl. I noticed these are called battleofthebits.org, while savestate's are called battleofthebits.com...prophetic

221873

Seed is back up, should be around for at least a good several hours today.

The Wayback Machine page has the .org, the name probably got inadvertently changed as part of fixing the forum links after the domain migration.

221891

will also seed it once they actually download for me lol, could probably have my vps seed it aswell

221904

Got the 2011 downloaded now as well, will also seed using funute's trackers if anyone else wants these

221914

ok I am stakeholder nao and I have INFLUENCE so

@puke7

can you purdy please get some sourcefiles uploaded somewhere, be it an actual torrent or something simpler so we can make the torrent dream real? I will bow to your every demand. I want to make this happen because I care maybe too much about everything on this site and I really really don't want to have to scrape everything and ddos the site even more that it already is by our friends at AI COMPANY #17845

222026

we need entries of 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 years

222029

having 2015-2024 would be neat so i can do more stuff for dd2 lol
