This list will be edited as more data becomes available, particularly with regard to Data Set 9 (EDIT: NOT ANYMORE)


EDIT [2026-02-02]: After being made aware of potential CSAM in the original Data Set 9 releases and seeing confirmation in the New York Times, I will no longer support any effort to maintain links to archives of it. There is suspicion of CSAM in Data Set 10 as well. I am removing links to both archives.

Some in this thread may be upset by this action. It is right to be distrustful of a government that has not shown signs of integrity. However, I do trust journalists who hold the government accountable.

I am abandoning this project and removing any links to content that commenters here and on reddit have suggested may contain CSAM.

    @wild_cow_5769:matrix.org If someone has a group working on finding the dataset.

    There are billions of people on earth. Someone downloaded dataset 9 before the link was taken down. We just have to find them :)

    some bad news, it looks like the data 9 zip file link doesn’t work anymore. They appear to have removed the file so my download stopped at 36gb. I’m not familiar with their site so is this normal for them to remove the files and maybe put them back again once they’ve reorganized them and at the same link location? or are we having to do the scrape of each pdf like another user has been doing?

    While I feel hopeful that we will be able to reconstruct the archive and create some sort of baseline that can be put back out there, I also cant stop thinking about the “and then what” aspect here. We’ve see our elected officials do nothing with this info over and over again and I’m worried this is going to repeat itself.

    I’m fully open to input on this, but I think having a group path forward is useful here. These are the things I believe we can do to move the needle.

    Right Now:

    1. Create a clean Data Archive for each of the known datasets (01-12). Something that is actually organized and accessible.
    2. Create a working Archive Directory containing an “itemized” reference list (SQL DB?) the full Data Archive, with each document’s listed as a row with certain metadata. Imagining a Github repo that we can all contribute to as we work. – File number – Dir. Location – File type (image, legal record, flight log, email, video, etc.) – File Status (Redacted bool, Missing bool, Flagged bool
    3. Infill any MISSING records where possible.
    4. Extract images away from .pdf format, Breakout the “Multi-File” pdfs, renaming images/docs by file number. (I made a quick script that does this reliably well.)
    5. Determine which files were left as CSAM and “redact” them ourselves, removing any liability on our part.

    What’s Next: Once we have the Archive and Archive Directory. We can begin safely and confidently walking through the Directory as a group effort and fill in as many files/blanks as possible.

    1. Identify and dedact all documents with garbage redactions, (remember the copy/paste DOJ blunders from December) & Identify poorly positioned redaction bars to uncover obfuscated names
    2. LABELING! If we could start adding labels to each document in the form of tags that contain individuals, emails, locations, businesses - This would make it MUCH easier for people to “connect the dots”
    3. Event Timeline… This will be hard, but if we can apply a timeline ID to each document, we can put the archive in order of events
    4. Create some method for visualizing the timeline, searching, or making connection with labels.

    We may not be detectives, legislators, or law men, but we are sleuth nerds, and the best thing we can do is get this data in a place that can allow others to push for justice and put an end to this crap once and for all. Its lofty, I know, but enough is enough. …Thoughts?

      GFD….

      My 2 cents. As a father of only daughters…

      If we don’t weed out this sick behavior as a society we never will.

      My thoughts are enough is enough.

      Once the files are gone there is little to 0 chance they are ever public again….

      You expect me to believe that a “oh shit we messed up” was accident?

      It’s the perfect excuse… so no one looks at the files.

      That’s my 2 cents.

      I have been seeding all of the datasets since Sunday. The copy of set 9 has been the busiest, with set 10 a distant second. I plan on seeding them for quite a while yet, and also picking up a consolidated torrent when that becomes available. Hopefully you are able to get connected via the Swarm.

        i am not seeing any errors, has just been stuck on downloading status with nothing going through. I originally added everything around the same time and all the other ones went through fine. I figured it was bugged or something so removed then readded it several times to no avail. I am not sure what else to try

        This entire thing smells funny. Even OP turned ghost on the threat of suspect images that no one has seen…

        Ask yourself. How did the times or whoever came up with this narrative even find these “suspect” images in a few hours when it seems no one in the world came even download the zip…

    PSA: paging bug has been fixed on the DOJ’s website. Website caps out at around 9600 for ~197k files, way less than the 520k in the less-complete dataset 9 torrent. Scraping the website now to find out which files they took offline.

    Correction: 9600*50 files per page is in the 470k ballpark. Much more tan 197k but still a lot less than the torrent’s 530k let alone the expected 600k+ files that were supposed to be in there

    Let me ask a question.

    For all the folks saying there are news reports of CSAM… Does that mean the news outlets got the full zip? How did they get it? No one else seems to be able to get it. Were they given it fist?

    If they don’t have the zip how did they even find it within hours of the files being released?

    Did they provide proof where they redacted the “danger” and said look… here is the proof?

    Seems rather suspect…

    Considering the massive effort of regular to comb through the files I would think the outcry would be gigantic….

      I’m not sure of the exact files that were reported by the NYT, but there certainly were some concerning images in the initial Jan 30 release, however it was certainly more than the reported 40. I saw others as well but I don’t remember what the file numbers we’re.

      spoiler

      [246249_247010]

      From my own observation timeline on the images in question: Jan 30: Images were accessible through DOJ directly. File numbers wereskipped in the list, but were manually reachable through URL. All these photos were fully unredacted (uncensored). **Feb 1: ** Images were NOT accessible through DOJ anymore, returns “Page not found”. However images were (and still are) snapshotted via web.archive.org. Feb 2: Downloading the 87GB Set 9 appeared contain these images as well, meaning we likely all have them on our computers. yikes

      These files were scrubbed from the DOJ website, along with many others.

      I found many of the scrubbed files by parsing through the lists and finding large gaps in file numbers, where the preceding file did not contain multiple images/documents in one pdf. There are also tons of internal memos in the dataset that precede file groups and talk about the content ahead. These memos surrounded files that seemed like they were meant to be redacted, so its worth poking around. I didn’t go nuts, but things I found around these that interesting and were also removed:

      • [EFTA00276493]: internal memo referring to Clinton photographed with “nude Gretchen”.
      • [EFTA00273790-EFTA276487]: (removed) looks like arial Lidar scans of the full estate?
      • [EFTA00276220]: (removed) panoramic Infrared / xray-ray scan of a room

      I’m still waiting for just the first zip file to uncompress and it’s been HOURS. The ONLY reasonable explanation to bolster the NYT claim is that they put “AI” on the datasets running on a supercomputer, and “caught” the DOJ distributing CP! Show us the proof NYT! (redact faces and genitalia and show the images!) Then: CONVICT THEM ALL! LIFE IN PRISON FOR THE ENTIRE DOJ!!! ;-P

      We didn’t have trouble getting Datasets 10, 11, or 12. I think Dataset 9 was probably delivered fine on Friday, so the NYTimes was able to grab a complete copy. Then, NYTimes started reporting the abusive material, which prompted the DOJ to yoink the ZIP, and it’s been screwy ever since.

      I saw a post from a random Redditor confirming that they found abusive material, if that’s the concern. I doubt that the reports are fabricated, but I also agree that the reports are a great excuse for the DOJ to remove legitimate files.

      DOJ Epstein Files: I found what’s around those 3 missing files (Part 2)

      Follow-up to my Dataset 9 indexing post. I pulled the adjacent files from my local copy of the torrent. What I found is… notable.


      TLDR

      The 3 missing files aren’t random corruption. They all cluster around one event: Epstein’s girlfriend Karyna Shuliak leaving St. Thomas (the island) in April 2016. And one of the gaps sits directly next to an email where Epstein recommends her a novel about a sympathetic pedophile—two days before the book was publicly released.


      The Big Finding: Duplicate Processing Batches

      Two of the missing files (326497 and 534391) are the same document processed twice—once with redactions, once without—208,000 files apart in the index.

      Redacted Batch Unredacted Batch Content
      326494-326496 534388-534390 AmEx travel booking, staff emails
      326497 - MISSING 534391 - MISSING ???
      326498-326500 Email chain continues
      326501 - MISSING ???
      326502-326506 Reply + Invoice
      534392 Epstein personal email

      Random file corruption hitting the same logical document in two separate processing runs, 208,000 positions apart? That’s not how corruption works. That’s how removal works.


      What’s Actually In These Files

      I pulled everything around the gaps. It’s all one email chain from April 10, 2016:

      The event: Karyna Shuliak (Epstein’s girlfriend) booked on Delta flight from Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas → JFK on April 13, 2016.

      St. Thomas is where you fly in/out to reach Little St. James. She was leaving the island.

      The chain:

      • 11:31 AM — AmEx Centurion (black card) sends confirmation to [email protected]
      • 11:33 AM — Lesley Groff (Epstein’s executive assistant) forwards to Shuliak, CC’s staff
      • 11:35 AM — Shuliak replies “Thanks so much”
      • 3:52 PM — Epstein personally emails Shuliak
      • Next day — AmEx sends invoice

      The unredacted batch (534xxx) reveals the email addresses that are blacked out in the redacted batch (326xxx):


      The Epstein Email (EFTA00534392)

      The document immediately after missing file 534391:

      From: "jeffrey E." <jeevacation@gmail.com>
      To: Karyna Shuliak
      Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2016 19:52:13 +0000
      
      order http://softskull.com/dd-product/undone/
      

      He’s telling her to buy a book. The same day she’s being booked to leave his island.


      The Book

      “Undone” by John Colapinto (Soft Skull Press)

      On-sale date: April 12, 2016
      Epstein’s email: April 10, 2016

      He recommended it two days before public release.

      Publisher’s description:

      “Dez is a former lawyer and teacher—an ephebophile with a proclivity for teenage girls, hiding out in a trailer park with his latest conquest, Chloe. Having been in and out of courtrooms (and therapists’ offices) for a number of years, Dez is at odds with a society that persecutes him over his desires.

      The protagonist is a pedophile who resents society for judging him.

      The author (John Colapinto) is a New Yorker staff writer, former Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone contributor. Exactly the media circles Epstein cultivated.


      What’s Missing

      So now we know the context:

      • EFTA00326497 — Between AmEx confirmation and Groff’s forward. Probably the PDF ticket attachment referenced in the emails.

      • EFTA00326501 — Between the forward chain and Shuliak’s reply. Unknown.

      • EFTA00534391Immediately before Epstein’s personal email about the pedo book. Unknown, but its position is notable.


      Open Questions

      1. How did Epstein have this book before release? Advance copy? Knows the author?

      2. What is 534391? It sits between staff logistics emails and Epstein’s direct correspondence. Another Epstein email? An attachment?

      3. Are there other Shuliak travel records with similar gaps? Is April 2016 unique or part of a pattern?

      4. What else is in the corpus from [email protected]?


      Verify It Yourself

      Try the DOJ links (all return errors):

      Check the torrent: Pull the EFTA numbers I listed. Confirm the gaps. Confirm the adjacencies.

      Grep the corpus: Search for “QWURMO” (booking reference), “Shuliak”, “jeevacation”, “Colapinto”


      Summary

      Three files missing from 531,256. All three cluster around one girlfriend’s April 2016 departure from St. Thomas. Same gaps appear in two processing batches 208,000 files apart. One gap sits adjacent to Epstein personally recommending a novel about a sympathetic pedophile, sent before the book was even publicly available.

      This isn’t random corruption.

      Full analysis + all code: https://github.com/degenai/Dataset9


      If anyone has the torrent and wants to grep for Colapinto connections or other Shuliak trips, please do. This is open source for a reason.

      ysk the page limit has been fixed, it caps out around 9600 for a total of ~197k file entries. Way less than the largest torrent’s 530k. Scraping now to get a list of the files they kept on the DOJ so we can determine which files they don’t want out there. Would be a good lead to further investigate the torrent

        Oh no…I didn’t know this, on one hand now i need to run another scan, but on the other it could reveal something, the torrent has 500k+ files so there is still a gap. I will run the scraper again and do a new analysis in the next day or two.

    I am downloading dataset 9 and should have the full 180gb zip done in a day. To confirm, the link on DOJ to the dataset 9 zip is now updated to be clean of CSAM or not? As much as I wish to help the cause, I do not want any of that type of material on my server unless permission has been given to host it for credible researchers only that need access to all files for their investigation, but I have no way of understanding what’s within legal rights to assist with redistributing the files to legitimate investigators and thus my plans to help create a torrent may be squashed. Please let me know.

      you’re not getting your connection cut off from the place where you’re downloading? That’s huge, could you let me know if you succeed?

        I was, and that is why it was taking so long for me to download as I use my custom downloader which uses various techniques to chunk the download. Unfortunately it seems like they’ve now removed the file completely so my downloader has no source to pull from and is stopped at 36gb.

      Amazing - Once you have the 180GB Set 9 downloaded, I’ll seed.

      At this point, my working assumption is that the version you’re downloading should be presumed to be free of CSAM, but we can’t know for sure until we check it. In addition, I assume that legitimate files were also removed from the version you’re downloading, but the legitimate files are preserved in the archives we already have (along with, tragically, the CSAM.)

      I think that after you download the 180GB set, we should compare it to our existing files to identify files that were removed. Then, we can identify which of the removed files were CSAM, and which of the removed files were legitimate. Going to be a hell of a task…

        Ok great. As for comparing files. I would likely do a hash check. That shouldn’t be difficult to identify truly unique files. It’ll take a few days for a decent computer to generate all the hashes but it should be pretty automated. I’ll reach out once I have it completed.

          Thank you! I’m not very tech savvy, so I’m very little help in this whole process. Please LMK what you find.

        someone posted the list of the original links. If it helps to cross reference I can check to see if I have it.

      From my understanding nobody knows. The DOJ said it was already removed, but the NYTimes claimed they found 40 images of CSAM. The DOJ said they immediately removed them Saturday, but a lot of files that didn’t contain CSAM were also removed. I’ve extracted the 101GB torrent and haven’t come accross any yet, but there’s a ton of files in there too. People have yet been able to download the entire ZIP and are trying to scrape everything individually as far as I know.

      As for the legality, I’m not a Lawyer and I don’t live in the states, but It’s all information that’s been released to the public by the US DOJ as required by a court order, so it’s a call that only you can make. With the amount of data that’s already disapeared I’m personally choosing to host it regardless, and I’ll seed whatever anyone else can salvage of dataset 9 too.

      wondering the same thing myself. Not sure about the latest DS9 dump, but I’ve definitely seen some of the other leaks that included some CSAM. crazy that DOJ let that out the door. :/

        I was being cut off, I manage it with chunking techniques. They unfortunately took down the file so now I have no source to pull from.

        I have various chunking techniques that I use. I adaptively modify the request size of the chunks as I’ve noticed at times the CDN will give large amounts then micro amounts. I haven’t figured out the exact backoff rate but I have retry mechanisms in place. The CDN is very annoying but so far my methods are working, just slow.

      Good… I don’t trust the what the DOJ says if I see it from my own eyes that’s one thing, and I’ll promptly delete it. But I don’t believe anything the DOJ says.

    So what’s the consensus on what to do about all the fully uncensored CSAM the DOJ released on the 30th? Much of it has been removed as of today, but that shit is still fully up on archive.org… 🙄…Not Great…

      My two cents I have nothing but daughter…all my children are just daughters…

      We don’t take care of this weird sexual abuse problem now between authority, figures and other things like that. We never will…

      I don’t think I could sleep at night if I didn’t do my due diligence because someday time will just move on and all of us will be too old to do something about it…

      We either take care if this now or we never will as a society …

      You think about it do you ever think there will be another point in the future to root out this kind of evil?

      So I say release the files and let the chips fall where they fall but that’s just my two cents…

      Would be one thing if this entire process felt like we could really trust justice to do the right thing…

      Just look over there in the Epstein form on Reddit. They are all kinds of pictures and names of really really wealthy people that can just easily buy their way out of trouble…

        Hey that makes sense to me man.

        I think there will be plenty of falling chips in the coming weeks. Once the data is aggregated and truly accessible searchable… someone is going to make some AI something that can connect the dots faster than the justice system - because my god is it slow as molasses.

        I’m so tired of waiting around.

      It’s “great” that the DOJ removed CSAM at the same time as they were removing perfectly legitimate files that are in the public interest. That’s just really smart. Puts us all in a hell of a bind.

      I can’t speak for others, but I’ll plan to preserve the 87GB Set 9, the 90GB Set 9, and Set 10, until we can get an updated “complete” (current) Set 9 that can be presumed to be free of CSAM. After that, we can try to identify the legitimate files that are missing from the “complete” Set 9, and preserve those while purging the CSAM.

        This seems like a valid plan - although I’m not that confident in the ‘purge’. It might be good to redact those images ourselves and then nobody is pressed to store them. Better to have a confidently safe dataset that can be passed around safely.

        Also, It looks like they went back and repaired the shitty text redactions on docs that were released late 2025 from what I can tell. I ran a script that auto detects and removes “fake” redactions and its not getting any hits anymore. even on files that it flagged in the past. They are definitely trying to cover their tracts* by the day*

        Without a timestamp on the photo its impossible to be 100% but it was obvious enough for me to ask the question. :/ It seems like it was a mistake on their part because everything else has heavily redacted nudity. You can also see references in the internal memo docs preceding the content.

          There’s a lawsuit to try to have a judge give an injunction to the file release. There isn’t a lot of time left…

          Once those files go away, do you honestly think anybody who will ever get to see them again?

    As far as CSAM and the “don’t go looking for data set 9”…

    Look I’ll be straight up.

    If I find any CSAM it gets deleted…

    But if you believe for 1 second that DOJ didn’t remove delete relevant files because they are protecting people then I have a time share to sell you at a cheap price on a beautiful scenic swamp in Florida…

      It’s literally left-in on purpose to try to have something over people that download and/or seed the torrents. We need a file-list to know what not to dl/seed, or a new torrent for that set.
