Each of these downloads is a compressed file containing all the files in the corresponding directory of this website (these directories being the categories listed on the home page of this website, that is, cars, guns, space, etc.). Of each directory, three formats are available:
  • An archive in Zip format, containing HTML-formatted files. This is the same form that the files are in on this website; the only difference is that there is no advertising in them.
  • An archive in tar/bzip2 format, containing the exact same files as are in the above Zip file.
  • An archive in tar/bzip2 format, containing the the same files as in the previous two archive files, but in text format (the original format of the articles; no HTML code added). This format is not much easier or harder to read than the others, although it does lack conveniences like the links to Google and the inline images. It is included for old command-line hands who might prefer to read this stuff in a terminal emulator rather than a web browser, or who would like the raw articles in order to hack on the data further.

    If you don't know which format to get, get the first format (Zip) if you're running Windows, or the second (tar/bzip2) if you're running Unix (including Linux or MacOS X).
