  • Mirroring Archive images to Asimov?

    Is anyone creating an automatic mirror of Apple II disk images from archive.org on asimov.net? I love the repository at Archive, but it would be much easier to download them if I could simply pull the whole set via FTP from Asimov. I am not aware of any similar mass-retrieval option for Archive.

    There is a mirroring tool, it lets you do stuff like this:

    ia download --search='collection:apple_ii_library_4am' --no-directories -- glob=\*zip


    Here is some info:
