Slashdot Mirror
Public Domain from Outer Space
Black_by_Pubic_Deman writes "It is a work of art that truly represents the nadir of film making; a movie so bad that it's good. It has been labelled 'The Worst Movie Ever' by the Golden Turkey Awards and is also the winner of two notable Razzies. Ed Wood's classic and every Slashdot reader's favorite movie Plan 9 from Outer Space is now in the Public Domain and available as a free download thanks to the fine folks over at Archive.org."

What I'd like to know is why archive.org, king of bulk data transfer, doesn't automatically provide bittorrents of all of their larger files. It would have to save them some stupidly large amount of money in bandwidth costs.
Any program relying on (nontrivial) preemptive multithreading will be buggy.
I have made the MPEG2 1.78 GB version of this file available via bittorrent. You can download the torrent from the following locations:

I distribute the MPEG2 files from Archive.org via http://torrents.pdmdb.org/ but can bet that Slashdot would kill my webserver too. Hopefully it can at least handle the tracker.
