The Vesuvius Challenge data files can be found here:
username: registeredusers, password: only
As described on the data page, the data is very large.
You can use wget to download this data recursively like this:
wget --no-parent -r --user=registeredusers --password=only http://dl.ash2txt.org/fragments
The data for the full scrolls is so large, you might want to only download parts of it to work with at first.
Here is a command to download 1cm of scan data from the center of Scroll 1:
for i in `seq 6000 7250`; do wget --user=registeredusers --password=only http://dl.ash2txt.org/full-scrolls/Scroll1/PHercParis4.volpkg/volumes/20230205180739/0$i.tif; done
For faster downloads, use rclone:
rclone copy :http:/full-scrolls/ ./dl.ash2txt.org/full-scrolls/ --http-url http://registeredusers:only@dl.ash2txt.org/ --progress --multi-thread-streams=32 --transfers=32 --size-only
On Linux, follow these instructions to make downloads much faster on linux without needing to use rclone.
On Windows, follow these instructions.
