@hbenthow I think a bunch of the Archive Team's stuff is still not up. The most recent date on the files available is the 17th, if I'm reading the timestamps correctly, and the distributed scraping project was still running until the unexpectedly early shutdown. According to the tracker, they managed to grab 3973 GB's worth of 7502012 items, where I think an item was an entire name/title board's contents (as far as I could tell from the messages scrolling on the console while I was running my copy): http://tracker.archiveteam.org/imdb/ So hopefully they managed to pick up the stuff that other places are missing. Anyway, glad to hear that the TMDB-posted torrent is legit and seems to have even the really obscure stuff, movie-wise. I was saving a bunch of the title boards for some foreign language films I had on my watching wishlist but only managed to grab maybe a dozen or so between doing it by hand for the smaller ones (Scrapbook X extension on Firefox with the auto-save add-on is very useful for this sort of thing) and using the script methods you posted in your thread about archiving (many thanks for that, BTW!). It's nice to know that there's a good likelihood of the other boards for old Hollywood stuff that were further down on my priority save list are probably there to read once I finally get around to watching those. @Stratego ISTR I read somewhere (sorry, can't remember where or I'd link it) that the end-goal for the Archive Team was to incorporate their files into a browseable version on the Wayback Machine or some other similar dedicated project on Archive.org.

According to to a reply on their Github project page, the files will eventually end up here: https://archive.org/details/archiveteam_imdb And people could probably ask more questions over at this Github project issue: https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/imdb-grab/issues/1
