Workstream MEMY-1286. Source of truth:
data/catalogs/locators-2026-08-27.json (locators) and
data/catalogs/snapshots/2026-08-27/freeze-manifest.json (frozen catalogs).
Totals
- Locators enumerated: 1,394,531
- Already downloaded: 33,081 (merged
download-manifest.json+ swarmdownload-manifest-ds*.jsonper-dataset manifests) - Missing: 1,361,450
- Missing size, measured via HEAD: 52.8 GB
- Missing size, estimated total (measured + sampled-mean extrapolation): 1.3 TB
Verification notes
- SUSPECT-TRUNCATION resolved: ds10/ds11/ds12 were fully walked at freeze time (10,081 / 6,634 / 4 pages, every page sha256-unique; live pager re-checked 2026-08-27 and unchanged). The 50-file counts came from an interim locators file written while the freeze was still running, which the swarm consumed for those datasets. Their downloads (50 files each, plus 17,738 of ds9) are PARTIAL — ds9/ds10/ds11/ds12 remain the bulk of the missing work below.
- Cross-validation: swarm-complete datasets match enumeration exactly (ds1 3,147; ds3 76; ds4 151; ds8 11,030).
Tranche order
Priority per directive: EFTA ds3/ds4/ds8–ds12 first, then remaining EFTA/FOIA, then court records, then House Oversight, then bop-video. Within the giant sets (ds9/ds10/ds11) chunk into ~50k-file sub-tranches so the download swarm can checkpoint.

Special handling
- justice.gov — send the age-verification cookie and full browser header set
(
build_headersin_1_download/catalog.py); keep concurrency ≤4 per host with the 1s pacing the existing downloader uses. Paginated views 403 without the headers. - house-oversight-oct / house-oversight-nov — file locators live in Google Drive and Dropbox folders, not on the release pages. As of this freeze the Drive folders return 404/403 and the Dropbox folders serve JS-only shells: enumerate them with a JS-capable browser (Steel) or the Dropbox API before scheduling downloads.
- bop-video / foia-florida — locators are
.mp4, not.pdf; the EFTA-PDF-only parser misses them. Sizes are large (video): HEAD before scheduling. - Any source marked
partial/unreachablein the freeze manifest needs a re-freeze before its locators are trusted.
