Hi all!

A ways back when I first got my Fujinet and had recently bought my Atari 800XL after ~40 years out of the 8 bit game, I had a thought: Wouldn't it be cool if I could access ALL the Atari 8 bit software the Internet Archive had in its collection right from my Fujinet?

This this project was born :) It's just a tiny Python program that downloads all Atari 8 bit related software running on a Digital Ocean instance that also runs Fujinet's tnfsd.

The software's organization mirrors The Internet Archives, so it can be a bit unwieldy to navigate.

I'd love suggestions on how I could improve this in a programmatic way from my Python script that does the downloading.

You can find the project on Github here.

And if you want to browse direct from your Fujinet, just point it at omnia.feoh.org

Thanks and have fun!

Thanks! I just need to figure out a way to translate their categories into something people might find more navigable. Maybe alphabetical order or something.

Yeah, either alfabetical or year released
