Chomsky Archive - 64GB and growing...

Postby godcanjudgeme on Thu Apr 29, 2010 12:00 am

As an update:

I am determined to finish cataloging my entire Chomsky archive.
I have been collecting for years and currently have much more material than has been made available to date anywhere on the web.

The problem is just that.

At present the archived material is standing at 64GB.
I have another 20 GB still to catalogue and re-encode.
I have reworked most of my video collection to reduce the impact on disc space but it remains a huge upload.

At current speed it will require another 4 weeks (time permitting) of finalising before it can be released.
Once completed I am planning a mass upload in packages of (approx) 10 GB, possibly one a week for a few months.

My question is : would anyone wish to assist in the initial seeding operation?

My home line is currently uploading at 350kbps, I see no need to pay for a seedbox but may have to reconsider.

Post here if you would like to help out.

Please post here if you think it's a ridiculous challenge or that I am wasting my time.

I'll PM with further details closer to the release dates.

Thanks folks.

Speaking of Chomsky, what is essential Chomsky? I've seen Manufactured Consent and heard a talk about class war among others.

Chomsky made an appearance in "The Corporation" which I found enlightening. This docu really stands apart as being funny and insightful, incorporating thoughts from many progressives.

Love that you used "incorporate" :D

It's a very good documentary btw. Well worth seeing.

Whoops! That was definitely a slip-of-the-tongue. :D

Another documentary which stood out for me was Occupation 101, though I don't recall whether Chomsky was exceptional in that.
