I need your help, ....but psssst.... Options

Hi mates,

in order to save all the files collected on Wolffles for the future, I'm trying something which would be a real low cost solution.

I will try to mirror all files kept on wolffiles on Google Drives.

As you maybe know, Google offers a 15GB drive to any user.

So, what would be easier than creating a dozen of new Google account, mirror each and every single file to them (switching to the next account when 15GB are reached)?
Then sharing all the files, and put a list with the now public google drive links and the files which are hold on them on a public github.

As a result, all files would be save as long as Google and Github are alive....

That's the theory.
I've created a new google account today, without any problem.
But when I tried to create a second one, I had no success, because this time a cell phone number was requested.

It seems to me, that from each IP, only one account without linking it to a cell phone can be created.

That's the point, where I need your help.

It would be great, if some of you could register a new google account and sending me the new google email address and also the password.
(Please don't send me public available account credentials from any leak. It's would be sad if all the maps, mods and other files would be deleted because of this)
(not to mention: don't use your real credentials. I'll have to change the password in order to push the files to the drive. You will lost the ownership of the account).


Thanks in advance

Guys, no need to worry at the moment.

THERE IS NO PLAN TO SHUT DOWN WOLFFILES!

Wolffiles was my first public development project and still is my baby.
So the required backup place for Splatterladder will be available in the future

THERE IS NO PLAN TO SHUT DOWN WOLFFILES!

But the backup of Wolffiles is a big part of the harddisk of the server which hosts the SL.

(SL , Forum and Splattervoice need to be hosted as virtual machines Linux Containers (LXC) on an Proxmox server. With about 500GB of Disk and >12GB Ram
The codebase behind the SL is old and not suitable to run under the newest operating systems. Therefore a lot of backports are required to keep the machine save.
To keep SL on the root itself could possibly be a security issue (thats one reason I splitted up Tracker and Forum on different virtual machines
)

This is more a "disaster-recovery", not as a standard download target.

At the moment, the filebase is roughly 100GB in size.

The full (and always up-to-date) file-list is available here: https://wolffiles.de/wolffiles_filelist.txt (regenerated when ever a new file is added)

This file list can be used a link-list for wget for example.
