A new mirror would be welcome! This is what you are seeking: www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Mirroring_How-To It's critical to keep the mirror up to date, since many changes to files occur every week. curl and wget don't facilitate that. -- Greg On Sat, Jul 21, 2012 at 02:33:31PM -0400, Bowerbird@aol.com wrote:
at some point, for what i am sure must be some kind of good reason, it become impossible to wget a file from the gutenberg.org website...
instead, one is told that the project is intended for humans, not robots.
this is devastating to researchers -- who just happen to be human beings who need systematic access via code.
i would be willing to mount a mirror on my personal account at my i.s.p., to restore free and unhindered access to these books in the public domain...
so if you'd "whitelist" me for one-time access to curl all of the files, i would appreciate it very much... thank you...
