There's also a partial Geocities archive I think at geociti.es. I don't think anyone managed to capture all of Geocities, mostly because there was no directory of users available, pages not linked from other linked pages could not be downloaded as there was no way to know they even existed, and Yahoo never provided any information about the size of Geocities.Thanks for the top, but alas neither site had it.How about geocities.ws or oocities?
The first of those wants ME to setup a site by that name (?), the second turns up nothing. Glenn at a2retro was kind enough to send me a copy of the sources on the departed site. Looks like Sanjaya reverse-engineered the network protocol and wrote a Windows-based server that made *.po images available to the client. Nice work there. If anyone knows where the correct version of Sanjaya Perera can be contacted, I'd love to speak with him about it (found several, but I don't believe any of them were the right person).
It uses libpcap, which means a Linux port won't be too difficult. The source code formatting is a bit bizarre, but I'm going to work on cleaning it up and getting it built on my Ubuntu system.
