[http://www.fileplanet.com FilePlanet] is no longer hosting new content, and "is in the process of being archived [by IGN]."
In 2012 [http://www.fileplanet.com FilePlanet] announced it was no longer hosting new content, and "is in the process of being archived [by IGN]."


FilePlanet hosts 87,190 download pages of game-related material (demos, patches, mods, promo stuff, etc.), which needs to be archived. These tend to be larger files, ranging from 10MB patches to 3GB clients.  We'll want all the arms we can for this one, since it gets harder the farther the archiving goes (files are numbered chronologically, and Skyrim mods are bigger than Doom ones).
FilePlanet hosted tens of thousands of game-related files (demos, patches, mods, promo stuff, etc.). These tend to be larger files, ranging from 10MB patches to 3GB clients.


===What We Need===
===The archival===


* Files! (approx. 45% done 5/15/12)
After first downloading files [[Fileplanet/Status_of_by_id_grab|by iterating IDs on the public website fileplanet.com and upload those in chunks to archive.org]] as well as [[Fileplanet/non-id-urls|scouting the web for other public URLs]], we got FTP access to the storage servers by the staff. Thanks!
* /fileinfo/ pages - get URLs from sitemaps (Schbirid is downloading these)
** Afterwards, extract all thumbnail image links and grab the full size images (strip _sm2 from the basename)
*** Done! grep -hPo 'http.*?_sm2.jpg' fileinfo*/fileinfo.log | sed 's/_sm2//' > fileinfo_fullsizeimages_URLs; # wgot those
**** Uploaded to http://archive.org/details/FileplanetFiles_fileinfo_pages_images
* [http://blog.fileplanet.com http://blog.fileplanet.com]
* A list of all "site:www.fileplanet.com inurl:hosteddl" URLs since these files seem not to be in the simple ID range
* Where do links like http://dl.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?classicgaming/o2home/rtl.zip come from and can we rescue those too?
** The non-IDed files are stuck behind the download manager - any clever way past it?  URLs to the files are of the form [http://download.direct2drive.com/ftp2/planetannihilation/mercilesscreations/opflash/opflash_-_uber_editor_tutorial.pdf?clientid=781894158 http://download.direct2drive.com/ftp2/planetannihilation/mercilesscreations/opflash/opflash_-_uber_editor_tutorial.pdf?clientid=781894158] and seem to require a valid ID to fetch.
*** Those URLs are the ones we currently fetch too. The script "visits" the download page and extracts such URL. The problem with these files is that they open a download link in a new window and I have not yet found out how to "open" that window correctly with wget. Haven't really tried though. -Schbirid


===How to help===
https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-fileplanet is the collection. Unpacked and sorted it amounts to about ~TODO files at ~TODOTB. The ftp2 files (another ~300k files at a total of ~1.2TB) cannot be shared publically since there are private files mixed in, we save them to IA anyways so maybe in the future we can sort them out.


* Have bash, wget, grep, rev, cut
There is a half-assed search interface available at https://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/fileplanet/fileplanet.php?filename=yourfilenamehere and a directory browser at https://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/fileplanet/fileplanet.php?directory=/some/dir/here/
* >100 gigabytes of space, just to be safe
* Put https://raw.github.com/SpiritQuaddicted/fileplanet-file-download/master/download_pages_and_files_from_fileplanet.sh somewhere (I'd suggest ~/somepath/fileplanetdownload/ ) and "chmod +x" it
* Pick a free increment (eg 110000-114999) and tell people about it (#fireplanet in EFnet or post it here). Be careful. In lower ranges a 5k range might work, but they get HUGE later. In the 220k range and probably lower too, we better use 100 IDs per chunk.
* * Keep the chunk sizes small. <30G would be nice. The less the better.
* Run the script with your start and end IDs as arguments. Eg "<code>./download_pages_and_files_from_fileplanet.sh 110000 114999</code>"
* Take a walk for half a day.
* You can <code>tail</code> the .log files if you are curious. See right below.
* Once you are done with your chunk, you will have a directory named after your range, eg 110000-114999/ . Inside that pages_xx000-xx999.log and files_xx000-xx999.log plus the www.fileplanet.com/ directory.
* Done! GOTO 10


In the end we'll upload all the parts to archive.org. If you have an account, you can use eg s3cmd.
===Related items===
 
* /fileinfo/ pages and the embedded images/thumbnails from the grab by IDs: https://archive.org/details/FileplanetFiles_fileinfo_pages_images
<code>s3cmd --add-header x-archive-auto-make-bucket:1 --add-header "x-archive-meta-description:Files from Fileplanet (www.fileplanet.com), all files from the ID range 110000 to 114999." put 110000-114999/*.log 110000-114999.tar s3://FileplanetFiles_110000-114999/</code>
* /download/ pages and download logs from the grab by IDs: https://archive.org/details/Fileplanet_index.htmls_and_logs_scraped_by_id
 
* http://blog.fileplanet.com: https://archive.org/details/FileplanetBlogFileplanetCom
'''The log files are important! Make sure they are saved!'''
* http://www.fileplanet.com/fileblog/archives/: https://archive.org/details/FileplanetFileblog
 
===Notes===
* For planning a good range to download, check http://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/temp/file_IDs_from_sitemaps.txt but be aware that apparently that does not cover all IDs we can get by simply incrementing by 1. Schbirid downloaded eg the file 75059 which is not listed in the sitemaps. So you can not trust that ID list.
* The range 175000-177761 (weird end number since that's when the server ran out of space...) had ~1100 files and 69G. We will need to use 1k ID increments for those ranges.
* Schbirid mailed to FPOps@IGN.com on the 3rd of May, no reply.

In 2012 FilePlanet announced it was no longer hosting new content, and "is in the process of being archived [by IGN]."

FilePlanet hosted tens of thousands of game-related files (demos, patches, mods, promo stuff, etc.). These tend to be larger files, ranging from 10MB patches to 3GB clients.

The archival

After first downloading files by iterating IDs on the public website fileplanet.com and upload those in chunks to archive.org as well as scouting the web for other public URLs, we got FTP access to the storage servers by the staff. Thanks!

https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-fileplanet is the collection. Unpacked and sorted it amounts to about ~TODO files at ~TODOTB. The ftp2 files (another ~300k files at a total of ~1.2TB) cannot be shared publically since there are private files mixed in, we save them to IA anyways so maybe in the future we can sort them out.

There is a half-assed search interface available at https://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/fileplanet/fileplanet.php?filename=yourfilenamehere and a directory browser at https://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/fileplanet/fileplanet.php?directory=/some/dir/here/
