Historical Replays and 404'd Links
-
Hi, all! I've a question around the online retention of historical replays and can't seem to find answers in the docs. the Replays & Live Games Wiki contains references to an online vault (https://wiki.faforever.com/en/Replay-Vault-&-Live-Games) and this link: http://content.faforever.com/faf/vault/replays_simple.php , both of which throw 404 Missing Page errors.
My brother and I are getting back into FAF after a 5-year hiatus, and for giggles I was attempting to look through some of our old games. A random example is: https://replay.faforever.com/12130868 , which promptly 404s. (which, more than fair!)
I believe, according to VindexNoob in https://forum.faforever.com/post/73432, that those games are unwatchable since they're older than four years old, but the physical files are still perhaps stored on a different server somewhere.
Is that still true, and if so, would it be possible to arrange access? My main interest is downloading our archived games, but I'm also a developer with spare Claude credits and I'd love to help out attempting to re-integrate older replays into the modern client.
Thanks so much -- this is one of my favorite projects on the net, thank you for keeping the old ways alive!

There's some problem with the old replay server or sth. Anything that's older than 2, 3 years or sth along these lines cannot be accessed as of now. I'm pretty sure the team will look into it at some point, but I believe it ain't high prio.

There is a torrent with 550 ish GB of old replays, couple of people have managed to download it, but i can't seem to download from them. (or they are not seeding)

I have downloaded them onto my server and they will be used for Vindex's faftracker to get even more results and things you can search for. In theory I can even offer to make them downloadable via a UI (this already exists) but I am hesitant to make it public so my internet doesnt go to shit if 10 people randomly decide "yeah i want everything" and starts to download everything.
Maybe I can limit it somehow, but havent figured it out yet.
