This is probably not the best place to talk about this but maybe Bernd did something like this before. What I leaned over the years is that you really don't know how much you gonna miss something before it is gone. I also started downloading Youtube channels that I really don't want to lose.

So now I want to create a backup of all the old CS1.6 and CSS maps. Unlike CSGO maps they aren't hosted on the Valve workshop and the sites hosting them could go down at any moment. I remember when spraylogos.de went down. 100s of thousands of custom made sprays were lost. Probably most of them trash but we will never know.

There are around 17k CS1.6 maps and 38k CSS maps. If the average map size is between 10 to 20MB then I should be able to fit them easily on my NAS.

Now I just need to create a script that downloads all the files and all useful metadata. I wonder how fast I should download so they don't ban my IP.

I'm doing the same.

I'm also considering downloading the TV interview series "Pričevalci" (means sth like "Eyewitnesses"). A historian who specialises in revolutionary violence (Slovenia post-ww2 and otherwise) does LONG (2hr+) interviews with old people with stories to tell. They're uploaded on the national radiotelevision website, but it takes some script-fu to download them (you have to sniff out the .m3u8 stream url and route it into an ordinary file using ffmpeg).
