BookCorpus dataset gone about neural-storyteller

[soskek]

@TZWwww
I wrote a crawler for the original site, smashwords.com. Please use this.

I went to the website and it said we'd have to collect it ourselves if we want the dataset. I wonder if anyone knows what happened?

[TZWwww]

I also wonder if I must collect the dataset myself. Is there any other source to get the dataset?

[soskek]

I cannot. Instead, see another option: soskek/bookcorpus#24 (comment)

Also looking for the same dataset, anybody finds it?

[abhinavkashyap]

The sad thing is there are new papers that reference this dataset and reference the old paper for the corpus. The dataset has vanished from their website and there are no answers from any of the authors. I am searching and it is not available anywhere.

Do you think it is possible to host the dataset for a while? I run into HTTP errors on some of the books, so this script ends up downloading only 7000/11000 books.

Would be ideal, if it were via distributed P2P file sharing systems.
