I agree. Not really a problem of course but you have to turn over a lot of stones sometimes. I think my collection that runs from 1978 - 1984 is complete but I have to check a lot of folders on a lot of pages to find out.

 I have to say that it would be good to have one consolidated archive. Mooo is great but sometimes if you're looking for a particular show you have to trawl through all the different users directories.
 

One big archive with a standardised naming convention and folders per year would be brilliant. 

Or at least brilliant for those of us with OCD filing tendencies...
 
I seem to remember that Rocker was keeping stuff on his iCloud or something at one point?

 Show me yours and I'll show you mine? I have my shows, sessions etc. on 139 DVDs, which equates to approximately 625gb: a further 63gb have been downloaded but not archived yet. MInd you, that's including a large amount of BFBS material yet to be shared.

 Currently my Shows folder contains:
  
 425Gb 5868 Files 78 Folders
  
 Which includes BFBS, BBCWS, Radio Eins etc, also some doubling up where there are several sources of a show, and some Andy Kershaw shows.
  
 And sessions
  
 32.6Gb 6956 Files 1040 folders
  
 That’s where sessions have been made available separately from shows mainly on the DVD torrent but I know there are a lot more out there on blogs, and on martinw’s collection!
  
 I’ve kept flac copies and Audacity projects of all the files I’ve created so I’m probably pushing 1Tb in total.
  
 
 I know the Mooo doesn’t have unlimited space and includes lots of In Concerts, etc.
  
 But the Peel catalogue fits easily on an external Hard Disk and even were the entire back catalogue to become magically available it would fit onto a 3Tb disc in mp3 format.
  
 Don’t know how easy it is to turn a Hard Disk into a Mooo...... I’ve got everything backed up to a WD Live NAS so can access it all on remote PCs / iPods / phones PS3 etc.

 Amazing stats indeed. Any idea as to what that translates to in terms of GBs or TBs of storage ?
  
 The reason I ask is that I have not been downloading all of the files for quite some time and feel the OCD need to start getting up to date with downloads and am wondering if any thought has been given to making everything available at one time ?
  
 Some archival sites have had hard drive vines (a hard drive is physically mailed to a person who copies and mails to the next who copies and mails ... ad infinitum) or have used private P2P methods such as copy.com http://copy.com. Hard drive vines have issues with drives going missing or getting damaged, etc. Not exactly sure on copy.com http://copy.com as I have only just started to use it, but Isigned up for a free 20Gb account and currently have 220+GB of The Smiths archive material synced to date - and still going strong.

 According to my List Of Shows page on the wiki we’ve passed a few important milestones in the availability of Radio 1 shows in recent weeks:
  
 2/5ths of all Peel shows have at least some content recorded and available.
 1 out of 5 shows have been preserved in their entirety.
 Just over 1/3 of all Radio 1 output has been made available online.
  
 There were just 6 minutes less than 666,666 minutes of Peel Radio One programming created.
  
 Other interesting facts: 1998 is one of the worst years for show availability, you need to go back to 1977 for a leaner year.
 6 years have more than 50% show availability, 1992, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004
