Yes. This isn't the first time I've tried to contact toomuchtodo.

Anywho, the amount of data is actually ~19GB which is well within what I can upload with my home connection. Unfortunately the ia tool is failing for me: https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/issues/176

Also, it's not really about the $3, more that a tonne of "$3" projects really add up over a year or so.

I have been advised that the data already exists on archive.org.
