Note to mods: I have posted magnet links (ones I made, nothing illegal) and offsite links, if any of this breaks site rules, please let me know.

I've been making an E621 archive for a few weeks now and I thought I would start sharing.

The way I've been doing it is downloading every post tagged by year (I know that misses the ones without datetags, I will get those as well).

I have created torrents for these, I try to make them at least a few GB in size, so 1980 - 2006 are bundled together. I will try to seed the torrents as much as possible, but I know I won't be able to all the time. To help fix that, I have uploaded the files to send.now so people can download and help seed them. The files expire 15 days of no downloads, so everyone is welcome to get them while they last.

The files (pools not included, I'm doing those separately) are named with gallery-dl's default e621_<postid>_<md5hash>.<extension> and E621's metadata json file is included with the files. They have also been compressed with 7zip to save space (7z a -mx9, max compression if you were wondering).

If you would like to help datetag posts, just filter out posts with datetags already. Alternatively, I have a set (which I regularly update) that has posts needing a datetag. https://e621.net/posts?tags=set%3Adatetag_please

It is important to note that since this is still a WIP, these archive files may be updated occasionally. I will post the update once there has been enough new posts.
