As you’re probably aware, MobileMe shuts down on June 30, and along with it will go hundreds of thousands of users public webpages, photo galleries, and iDisk folders. In an effort to save this data, the Archiveteam has downloaded all of it. That’s a whopping 272 Terabytes, not Gigabytes, of data.

The Archiveteam is little more than a small group of volunteers, but they’ve been diligently trying to save the entire contents of MobileMe for the past few months. In the past, they’ve also archived a huge collection of Geocities sites, as well as many other repositories of data, including over 90 million tweets. Even though Apple might want to move on from MobileMe, you can rest assured that the Archiveteam has kept all its data safe.
