Lulu Poetry or Poetry.com, announced on May 1, 2011 that they would close four days later on May 4, deleting all 14 million poems. Archive Team members instantly amassed to find out how to help and aim their LOIC's at it. (By the way, I actually mean their crawlers, not DDoS cannons.)
Site Structure
The urls appear to be flexible and sequential:
(12:13:09 AM) closure: http://www.poetry.com/poems/archiveteam-bitches/3535201/ , heh, look at that, you can just put in any number you like I think
(12:15:16 AM) closure: http://www.poetry.com/user/allofthem/7936443/ same for the users
There are apparently over 14 million poems. The numbers go up to http://www.poetry.com/user/whatever/14712220, though interspersed are urls without poems (author deletions?).
Howto
Claim a range of numbers below.
Generate a hotlist by running this, editing in your start and end number: perl -le 'print "<nowiki>http://www.poetry.com/poems/archiveteam/$_/" for 1000000...2000000' > hotlist
Split the hotlist into 100 sublists: split hotlist
Run wget on each sublist: wget -x i xaa
To avoid getting too many files in one directory, which some filesystems will choke on, recommend moving into a new subdirectory before running each wget on the sublist.
For the daring, here's how to run all wgets on all the sublists in parallel, in subdirs: for x in ???; do mkdir $x.dir; cd $x.dir; wget -x -i ../$x &; cd ..; done
