I finished downloading all files, images and folders and put them up on https://downloads.teeworlds.com/solidfiles.com/.
It's about 3k files weighing roughly 2GiB. Each file is accompanied by a file named meta.json containing a bit of metadata from Solidfiles.
I'll be updating all forums posts with the mirrored links shortly.

If there's a problem with any of the files, legal or otherwise, drop me an email at minus@teeworlds.com.

Edit: All forum posts that had working Solidfiles links were updated to point to our mirror. Note that some used some kind of thumbnail image or download button image from Solidfiles that did not work anymore; those links have not been changed, as well as all other non-working links.

Luckily this is not about opinions it is about facts and laws.

So then show me a source for your "facts and laws"!

Once everything is downloaded I''ll throw it on downloads.teeworlds.com and do some SQL-query magic to replace all links. If anyone is interested I can also share the scripts I wrote.

I'm glad we have a magician on board :)

This.

Current status: I restructured the file system layout of the dumped files and am currently fetching the files from the folders. Seems like it'll take a while; some of those folders are quite big and solidfiles likes to hang and/or reset connections.

Once everything is downloaded I'll throw it on downloads.teeworlds.com and do some SQL-query magic to replace all links. If anyone is interested I can also share the scripts I wrote.

Do you have a source for this?
One doesn't need an account for uploading files on soldfiles.com, so IMO there can't be a copyright related to the uploading on a sharehoster

LOL you mean we should report all the solidfiles files because they could hurt copyright? wtf? Read the topic dude, all the files will be deleted anyway

No need for the condescending tone. Regardless if the original is going to be deleted, rehosting without permission is a copyright issue.

There actually IS a problem with that, its called copyright. W/e just do it like heinrich said and reup it unless the author explicitly asks to take the files down, which won't be the case in most scenarios.

So what's supposed to happen. As it's (not only cause of copyright) legally problematic to just re-upload stuff, is there anything we can do?

LOL whats the problem with uploading stuff which others already uploaded to a SHAREhoster?

Re: Solidfiles.com is shutting down?

null@example.com (heinrich5991) — Thu, 04 May 2017 22:42:18 +0000

Just upload it and take it down if the author asks.

I have dumped all download links and images. There's also a handful of 'folders' linked which I have not dumped yet.

I've attached JSON files with the links.

The final result was that it got 1557 links from a total of 1274 pages. Filtering this for .*solidfiles\..* gave me the 11 results in my paste above.
I think 1274 pages is far too few, there are approximately 10 000 topics (see the footer on the forum home page).

For anyone curious, I figured out why the script didn't work. After having made too many requests, the forum just throws 503's at me instead of giving me actual results (no worries, it won't act as a DoS; it's just me who gets locked out)

I found about 500 posts with soldifiles links in the database. I'll try to archive those later today. I'll keep you posted.
Edit: Made some progress; will post a list of URLs later.

Great to hear you can get all the links!
