| 18:02:41 | <Webuser833020> | Hello. Do you know why SPN blocked Twitter/X? |
| 18:03:27 | <justauser> | Probably because Twitter/X blocked SPN. |
| 18:04:32 | <justauser> | AT has a couple of workarounds, but it's notoriously difficult to archive. |
| 18:06:46 | <Webuser833020> | justauser++ |

| 18:09:04 | <Webuser833020> | I know that archive |
| 18:14:29 | <Webuser833020> | I know that archive.today, ghostarchive.org (including comments), megalodon.jp and arquivo.pt (though I'm not sure about the last one) work. |

| 18:22:01 | <PredatorIWD25> | I have some 200GB+ files to upload slowly to an item on IA through their site but the connection usually breaks after a few days and I have to resume it from 0. Whats a good way to upload these files? |

| 18:27:34 | <justauser> | Ugh. |
| 18:27:48 | | PredatorIWD25 joins |
| 18:28:13 | <justauser> | Do you have a single huge file or lots of smaller ones? |
| 18:29:02 | <justauser> | In the former case, https://gitea.arpa.li/JustAnotherArchivist/little-things/src/branch/master/ia-upload-stream might help. |
| 18:29:36 | <justauser> | In the latter case, packing them in some arbitrary groups will simplify your life. |
| 18:30:14 | <justauser> | And if neither is true, you shouldn't have a problem - web uploader resumes on file boundary. |
| 18:30:52 | <PredatorIWD25> | I have multiple archive files some of which have hundreds of gigabytes, that I can't really repackage |
| 18:30:56 | <justauser> | Beware of item size limit of 1TB. |
| 18:31:13 | <justauser> | Then try ia-upload-stream. |
| 18:31:34 | <justauser> | Torrent upload used to be an option, but it's broken for about a year. |
| 18:48:49 | <PredatorIWD25> | justauser Thanks, I'm trying it out. Is there another option where file upload can be resumed in case the connection is broken in the middle a single big file, just in case this option doesn't work out |
| 18:49:33 | <justauser> | Not that I know of, short of asking someone to help. |
| 18:51:51 | <nicolas17> | I think ia-upload-stream can resume? |
| 18:52:43 | <nicolas17> | it uploads in chunks so it can restart the failed chunk alone |
| 18:52:50 | <nicolas17> | instead of starting from the beginning of the *file* |
| 18:53:02 | <nicolas17> | PredatorIWD25: also what's your upload speed? |
| 18:53:35 | <nicolas17> | like your actual observed speed to IA, not your ISP's theoretical limit |
| 18:54:42 | <PredatorIWD25> | My theoretical and achieved upload on my PC is ~4MB/s in total, although I'm using it for many things at any given moment. |
| 18:55:22 | <nicolas17> | my actual speed is extremely slow unless I change Linux's TCP congestion control settings |
| 18:56:50 | <nicolas17> | like "seconds per megabyte" |
| 18:58:09 | <PredatorIWD25> | I'm on win10, and don't really have a problem with my connection on anything else, but after 5-6+ days of uploading a single big file to IA it can break, I don't think it's on my side but it's possible |
| 18:58:48 | <nicolas17> | I have problems with *IA alone* if I don't tweak settings |
| 19:00:42 | <nicolas17> | it's weird |

| 19:31:00 | <@JAA> | ia-upload-stream cannot 'resume' the upload as such. What it can do is do a multipart upload instead of a single giant upload, and that allows you to retry individual part uploads rather than having to start from scratch. This is a good use case for it, I think. |
| 19:33:20 | <@JAA> | However, it's a pretty raw tool. If a part upload fails too many times, it will crash, and recovery from that state doesn't have a nice interface. |
| 19:35:20 | <nicolas17> | 200GB should take 14 hours at 4MB/s |
| 19:35:29 | <nicolas17> | if it's taking you "5-6 days" then you have much worse speed |
| 19:35:38 | <@JAA> | Yes, TCP congestion control configuration is critical if you want to get reasonable speeds from outside the US/Canada at least. |
| 19:36:36 | <@JAA> | I'm happy to help with using ia-upload-stream, but I can't assist with Windows things (including its TCP stack). |
| 19:36:39 | <PredatorIWD25> | I'm uploading different big files not just that one, and as said I'm using upload for other things |
| 19:37:20 | <PredatorIWD25> | JAA I'm using the script for now and will see how it goes after a few days |
| 19:38:37 | <@JAA> | Good luck! :-) |
