Download Geocities Torrent – 1TB Of Geocities Content To Be Released

Geocities Torrent Download

It has been revealed today that the entire contents of the once popular free website host Geocities is to be released online in the form of a torrent.

Back in 2009, Yahoo decided it was finally time to shut down the Geocities website and promptly went on to clear out all the data from their servers.

But now it appears that the Geocities data will soon be available to the masses once again. The Geocities torrent will grant access to a huge database of websites and content that should be considered a huge part of the internet’s history.

The self-styled Archive Team has now gathered up that data and has announced that it will release the whole lot as a torrent. This means that anyone can download it and have their very own copy of Geocities – providing they have a spare 900GB of memory laying around ofcourse.

“This is going to be one hell of a torrent – the compression is happening as we speak, and it’s making a machine or two very unhappy for weeks on end,” said the Archive Team post.

“The hope had been to upload it today, but the reality is this is a lot of stuff– probably 900 gigabytes will be in the torrent itself. It’s not perfect, it’s not all – but it’s something.”

“While it’s quite clear this sort of cavalier attitude to digital history will continue, the hope is that this torrent will bring some attention to both the worth of these archives and the ease at which it can be lost – and found again.”
