Blog – 2024-09-02 – live555 unofficial archive is growing

My online archive project live555 unofficial archive is growing. It contains 684 tarballs out of 1000 live555 releases. That is 68% for all released versions.

This small success is not due to my work. I actively collect tarballs from the live555 server starting from January 2023. All the older releases I copied from other archive projects on the internet.

One example: Some weeks ago I received an email about my archive project. The sender pointed me to the existing archive at the URL

http://wex5mlqtzj6mxjwkcugoadlzgwh5qvfuympen2iolo5lep762ramjsqd.onion

Yes, it's a *.onion domain. So the server is a hidden service in the TOR network. I quickly checked it out and what should I say. It's the biggest and best live555 archive I have found until now. It contains ~680 archives starting from 2002. Big kudos to the person maintaining this side.
