I've saved it! Here is a backup mirror:

http://linuxjournal.as.boramalper.org/secure2.linuxjournal.c...

If you'd like a copy too, please download & seed the torrent instead of scraping: http://linuxjournal.as.boramalper.org/linuxjournal.torrent

Could you make a mirror and torrent of the 170 PDFs as well? They go back to April 2005. You can find them at ljarchive.neverlocate.me/LinuxJournal

I am afraid that might be illegal as they did not un-paywall the PDFs yet.

All PDFs on this page: https://secure2.linuxjournal.com/pdf/dljdownload.php appear to be un-paywalled now (they were not yesterday).

Well here you go then! https://linuxjournal.as.boramalper.org/linuxjournal-issues.t...

Transmission seems to be unable to open this for some reason. No errors, but no progress then appears. Also doesn't ask where I want to save locally. Weird.

Yeah, too bad. Worked fine in qBittorrent though.

But I wanted to seed it for a while via Transmission on one of my servers, that is not gonna fly now for me unfortunately.

Thanks for the mirroring effort!

Just installed and used qBitorrent. That did work.

Thank you. Joined the torrent.

What did you use to do that?

Good old wget :)
