I only discovered the site thru HN and it was an extremely useful resource for me as I'm working on two different vehicles and having access to those service manuals was quite convenient. Hoping it's temporary but I worry maybe the industry got it shut down under some applicable laws (I believe it was skirting these by only having models up to 2014)

It looks like there's a torrent with all the data and code[0, 1], which only takes up about 750GB, so a $60 1TB SSD (or an even cheaper hard drive) would fit it. Might want to take a look at it, but it looks like you'd need to run the server software to extract the PDF files from the compressed database provided.
