In the end the admins failed to setup a proper system to allow the efficient downloading of the content for offline use. If I every start designing cc0 content I will not post it here because the admins do not care about sharing the information freely. It does not matter what they say. If I cannot download the entire archive with all the necessary licenses then they have failed to crerative commons license. Just that simple. I will whatever I can to get what I need. Maybe goto some other site.
Those are not real solutions provided. I need a downloaded archive with the files and the license to go with it. That is what they should provide. Very simple.
The admins can make the offline copy available to everyone if they wanted to. All they have to do is replace the userdatabase with dummy accounts. The people that contribute their hard work for everyone to enjoy have the expectation that people would have copies of it. They have a duty to make the content offline. It is not hiprocriticial for for this. I is my right to ask because I have every right to access the full offline content. To do otherwise is to disrespect the contributors of the content. This makes me not want to do cc0 content because of what is being done here. Very disrespectful.
I already thought of using a bash script. Made some attempts to prototype a script. I just have not done it as yet because I do not have the storage. Will see when I get more storagein the future.
I want to point out something. Someone said the reason the admins do not want to make offline backups is because it could be used as training data for AI. That is nonsense because the AI already scraped and continue to scrape the site. So the admins have no excuses for not making offline backups.
Ok. I see. Thanks. Maybe he should make the copy available to those who do not have internet. This would be a treasurte trove for kids living in revering communities where the intenet does not reach.

We need to act faster because soon they will lock down the internet.

Lets hope you manage to do it. Maybe sharing on archive is the best thing for now. At least peopel can download it.
