The torrent RSS has an indirect link for FOSDEM (it's missing the /cons/ directory)

Are there plans to have RSS feed for torrents of the non-cons directories?

Is the current size of town content still in the ballpark of 4.5TB?

Thanks again for all that you do!

Good timing of your questions! I'm in the middle of a big /cons/ update, about 2,000 new files being worked on and I'm about 1,000 in.

The RSS feed should start being updated this week and we will fix the FOSDEM link - BUT - FOSDEM 2020 is updating their videos now, I'm guessing another two or three weeks until they are done.

On all the other torrents for different directories I do plan to create them. My problem is I need to redo how I am tracking and updating many of the directories. For example I have a ton of security podcast audio but the filenames are terrible and mean nothing. If I can auto rename the files from ID3 tags then it will be meaningful for people.

In the skills directory I need a better way to track what has already been done so I don't keep re-transcoding the same files over and over. I'll basically empty out the directories and then switch over to a new management strategy after I'm caught up on this batch of cons.

Let's check current size.. the /cons/ directory is currently about 4.9T and all of infocon.org is about 6T. I'm guessing after the rest of the cons are updated we will be closer to 5T in size.

Thanks for poking me on this tecknicaltom it's gotten me motivated to start reorganizing and reencoding.

First up in the infocon.org/skills/ directory is a newly built torrent for:

• Torrent of the MAKE video archive - 87 Gigs and 4,973 files
• Torrent of the iFixit archive from April 2020 - 61 Gigs and 38,847 files

Currently started working on the lockpicking related directories.

Thanks Dark Tangent for the update. I have a few more corrections for you that I've noticed after analyzing InfoconDB links to Infocon.org:

* SHA2017 (https://infocon.org/cons/Shakacon/SHA2017/) is not a conference of Shakacon, but one of the Dutch hacker camps (https://infocondb.org/con/dutch-hacker-camps/)
* There was no ToorCamp in 2011 (https://infocon.org/cons/Toorcon/ToorCamp%20-%202011/) and this directory looks to only have one video from ToorCon 2011

I'll reply again if I uncover any others.

Good find on the SHA2017 problem. It must have been accidentally dragged and dropped into Shakacon because it is correctly sorted on our main backend archive.

I fixed Toorcon and will regenerate the torrent this week. Thanks!
