There are still plenty of reliably sources for magnet links to The Pile, e.g. [1]. The DMCA takedowns are just a minor inconvenience.

Thank you. How’d you dig this one up?

[1] is the first result if I google "the pile torrent". It doesn't link to the torrent because of a DMCA notice, so I just used the wayback machine to retrieve a version from before the date of that notice. Don't tell the publisher.

Frustratingly, they scan my comments, so hopefully they won’t bother filing a DMCA for that.

(Seeing "sillysaurusx" appear in print on official court documents was pretty amusing out of context, though.)

Shawn, there is a mildly redacted version available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/monology/pile-uncopyrighted

Thank you.
