How many GB of data is the whole lot that you downloaded? Zipped and unzipped?
Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
Zipped is 127GB.
Unzipped is about the same because all the files downloaded are zip archives already (so that's a zip of zips ...)
Everything is online now 😀

Really nice work!
I have one more request though, is it possible you could make separate zips just with HTML files? Makes it much simpler to download just those files and browse around (then you can use show contents to get the specific zip file).

If it isn't too much trouble, I too would definitely download this and keep it on my PC!
Easiest way to do it would probably be to just dump all the zips to a folder, use Windows search to look for *.zip and *.exe (or a third party search program that lets you search extensions) and just delete them all, then re-zip everything.

Thanks am DLing ... hmm

I just want to grab Deksor's zip of sound-card drivers from archive.org. Direct download is not a great option, so I just want to grab the torrent and select the bits I want. Problem is, the soundcard zip is not part of the torrent!
This seems like it would be an archive.org problem, not a Deksor problem. Is it like this for anyone else?

uh-oh
Whoops I probably forgot to add it. I will add it this evening.

soundcard-drivers.zip is there. Not sure if it's in the torrent file though as don't currently have the drive space to download it all.
See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

I fear we have missed out on some of the files. Seems .exe is also a valid extension. I found this out when trying to get the ProMedia XR drivers for LGR.

wow I missed that!
epic work Deksor!!!!
Even archive.org isn't immune from loss - in the last couple of weeks I've visited bookmarked links for both Gateway & Supermicro downloads (some of which I've linked here), and the files are no more 🙁

Wow, and they were user uploads (not wayback)? Wonder if the users have taken them down or something else has happened. Bit weird.

No, these weren't user uploads but old archived pages / files from the respective company websites - guess it makes sense now to download what you find, rather than just link it.
For sure. Sometimes I'll find downloads that work today, don't work tomorrow, but might work again later. It's weird. I definitely snatch things I need straight away, just in case.
Ars Technica has a very detailed BIOS settings guide from 2002:
https://arstechnica.com/features/2002/09/bios-2/
It nicely explains some of the more obscure options, such as I/O Recovery Time and Passive Release for example.

This is very odd. If it's in the Wayback Machine, then it should still be there. Were they taken out with some robots.txt shenanigans (such as the old domain coming under new ownership)? (Archive.org respects that file, sometimes.)
Otherwise, try checking again - archive.org had scheduled downtime the other week, for instance.

Stiletto: archive.org recently took down a few of my older uploads, they said violated something but when first posted did not. Am guessing that someone complained so they went thru and removed things. Could be wrong and do know that they have had some issues lately...
As for the OP I have a few old manu website links from early 2000's in my bookmarks from back then that links many old hardware sites..
Here is one that archive org had scanned in 2003 : http://web.archive.org/web/20030320092134/htt … /Computing/all/
useful for finding some old websites....thru archive org of course..
Maybe some one will scrape the link data for us.....

User uploads is a completely different situation. PC Hoarder Patrol was instead talking about stuff in the Wayback Machine, see above: Re: Link Repository for Vintage PC Driver\Documentation Archives, FTPs, Websites

Not sure if this site is listed anywhere here on Vogons, but I have used it a bit of late and perhaps it can be of use to others.

Its got a ton of latest BIOS files for Super 7 board that provide K62+ and K63+ bios files and also modded Bios files for boards that never got updates to support these CPUs, the modded files also bring 128gb drive support to many boards that never got it.
Its fairly comprehensive and covers a lot of boards, also has a good bit of info about may of the bios files and modded files and what boards and revisions they are for.
