BeastForum Archives

Thanks Webb. Just trying to create folders for each user with all the photos and videos instead of having them in different folders/forums, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Right now I'm going to the user profile and seeing what threads they create and gathering content from there. If you know a better way to search for a user specific content across the full archive let me know!

I've attached a ZIP archive with CSV files listing all posts with uploads, with one file for each forum. Each file contains three columns (user ID, user name, upload path) and is sorted by user ID. Hope this helps.

For everyone else: If you're trying to download the archive, this isn't what you're looking for. Go back a page or two and download the torrent file.

Would there be any way to find out what your old user number was?

If you download the archive and find one of your posts, your member number will be on the left.

Otherwise, let me know what your old username was and I can look it up.

Holy shit, you did it again. That helps a lot. Big THANKS!
 
Is there anything we can do to make the downloads more ... reliable? It seems like every *.part that I try to download fails maybe 25 - 50 times. I don't know enough about how Tor works to understand what I'm doing wrong (if its a client thing at all.)

We've been informed that some users have been having difficulty connecting to the torrent. An updated torrent file is attached. If you are already downloading from the previous torrent, you DO NOT need to change anything. The same peers will be visible on both torrents, the only difference is that this torrent file includes a list of public trackers, which some BitTorrent clients require.

The torrent is now active and has seeds. If you connect, you will be able to download content from it. Make sure you have enough disk space available before you start downloading.

Thank you so much for uploading the torrent. I just finished downloading it. I'll keep seeding for a few months at least. For those of you wondering it took about 4 days of nonstop tormenting with roughly 5 seeders to download the full archive.

Am I doing something wrong? EDIT: I tried a different bit torrent client and it worked (Transmission) PS thanks for the hard work in archiving this site

OMG just downloaded the "Female Homemade" and this is just amazing! No problem grabbing with a standard torrent client and the tracker posted here, took about two hours. Lots of little threads I never saved and great to have everything in the context of its original thread

THANKS!

Before BeastForum shut down in 2019, some friends and I put our heads together and constructed some tools to download an archive of the forum, including all of its posts and files, before the forum could shut down. We were mostly successful. Except for a couple of very large threads that crashed the forum every time we tried to access them, we were able to download basically everything. Over 235,000 topics, 9.5 million posts, and over 1 TB of files.

For the last few years, we've been working to build an archive of the site that you could download and browse offline. We're nearly done. The only problem is the size. Finding somewhere to host downloads of something this large is difficult, especially when you don't want it to be traced back to you, which we don't. We're eager to share this with you all, it's just hard to make it happen.

So I have a few questions for you:

1. Does anyone have specific ideas on how I could make this available? We have web hosting space for the files, but we'd rather not distribute them directly from there. Please feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss this in private.

2. Are there any specific subforums or topics that some of you are particularly interested in? If there's enough interest, I might be able to make some of those available ahead of the full archive.

And if you have any questions for us about this project, feel free to ask. We'll do our best to answer.

i spent a lot of time at Beastforum and thought i would donate or become a paid member, but tried all the old links led to someplace else, finally did a search finding a link to this thread, registered to become a member just to post this on this forum leading to a proton email account just to post to this thread just to say i thank Beastforum for many years of enjoyment and i hated to hear it was shut down, i dont know the whole story of why or by who, i didnt think beastiality is illegal so why would photos and videos and stories be shunned upon leading to a shutdown of the site, i was down and out after my stroke in 2004 but everything still worked physical wise/sexual wise, just not walking wise , so girlfriends and dating were out the window , porn became my outlet and beastforum aided in my health and rehabilitation to an extent , i never became a member and am guilty feeling ashamed that maybe my annual paid membership could have kept beastforum afloat , if there is a paypal account for the old creators to be thanked properly i would appreciate the link, i have no advice for a new secure site and still dont understand why beastforum idea doesnt work any longer , other zoo or beast sites exist that have been around but i havent explored them to the extent that i explored beastforum , again thanks and best of luck getting back online
 
I find it funny how I was browsing a cloud drive of photos I had dumped in an old google drive account back in 2013 (only one of them had a photo of a girl and a dog). I noticed a watermark in the bottom right for beastforums. I had totally forgotten about it, searched for it. Came across a post on here talking about some BF 2017 torrent. Then I keep searching it and end up here. What I find funny is how relatively new this is. It was almost such good timing. :ROFLMAO:

Something's not right on your end. There's currently several seeders available.

Though I do want to mention, I only have two seeders currently. It hit three for a bit, but when back down. I'll let it run it's course, idm.
 
Are there seeders online? Downloading from tor is so suffering that I decide to use torrent to download the remaining parts. But I waited for one day there are no seeders. :(

Thank you for saving all that precious material :)
 
If you aren't seeing any peers at all there's probably something wrong on your end. What BitTorrent client are you using?

The seed I was running is temporarily offline, but there should be at least one or two others active.

have you considered uploading text only content (stories or guides and etc) to... google drive for example?

Not planning on it. If someone else wants to do that, you're welcome to do so, but my focus is on the full site archive.
 
Shuffling through the post archives really shows how much of the "new" content posted in this forum is really just repost after repost of what was already on beastforum years ago. Sad state of affairs.
 
Aw man just keep it buried geez. I don't need to see our topics of discussion 22 years ago.
