Since everything2.com is both nonprofit, and shows no signs of shutting down in the near future, I limited wget to one process, and one page a second. Since I started on December 21st, I should be at the two million mark by January 13th. As of 1809h on the 22nd, I'm at node 71000.

Since everything2.com URLs are of the form http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=NUMBER, it's fairly easy to increment NUMBER, and thus download everything on the site without having to follow links.
Since E2 is an operational site, additional backups will be made as more content is added.

EVERYTHING2.COM is a kind of proto-wiki, dating from 1999. Never as popular as wikipedia, it still has about 2 million pages, many of which show up nowhere else in the internet.

Archived by bbot. The torrent of the first two million nodes is here, (magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3da079e5932acdacfdf183ff6de1698b6f1a24b7&dn=Everything2+%280-2M%29&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fdenis.stalker.h3q.com%3A6969%2Fannounce) and a blog post on the tedious technical details is here.

Since E2 is an operational site, additional backups will be made as more content is added.
