It’s been a year since I posted this, Tom! I’m now at 1,568,888 files. But who’s counting?

Rats, I only have 770,000 files online. I thought I had a pretty complete copy of the archive. I guess I will have to go looking some more.

Indexing by md5 sums or other checksums, forming filenames of multiple checksums (or file-lengths, even), would cause duplicates to be obvious… watch for collisions, though. I do this in my index. Using hard-links to generated filenames, then doing a “find” looking for >2 inodes, should show you which are dupes.

Bah, I could be speaking out of my butt. I haven’t even looked at your files, so my “help” might just be a nuisance.

You’re doing a mondo-cool thing, but you know that of course. Dunno if it was your choice. Few things are entirely choice…
