Hello, thanks for the great project!

I was wondering if you would be open to providing a compressed version of BreachCompilation for people like me who have very slow internet. It is nice to provide the magnet link for the uncompressed version so people have the option to pick and choose if they only want specific files, but on the other hand it took 2 full days for my download to finish. Using zstd -r --ultra --long -c -20 -T0 > breach.zst (-T0 should be multithreaded, but only used a single thread for me likely because of the high compression level) got it down from 41.1GiB to 10.5 GiB, and just doing the default compression level which was much faster (zstd -r -c -T0 > breach.zst) got it down to 13GiB. Either way, this is a much smaller size that would take far less time for me to download and decompressing the 10.5 GiB file took me less than 4 minutes (On an SSD with a relatively old CPU Intel i5-5200U @ 2.7GHz). Providing both options leaves the choice up to the user, but I think a lot of people likely want all the files so most people would probably choose a faster download over using a bit of extra drive space until everything is decompressed.

There are currently 0 Seeds and 0 Peers for downloading the magnet link for breach parse. I am very curious how I can get this data, or compile my own data for the script to work with.

Wow 8 GB files to download is too much

I have successfully installed and used Breach Parse. But can someone please tell me the correct way to keep the database updated? Do I have to install everything again in full or can I do some sort of sudo apt install command to just update the database? Thanks

I get that the documentation is probably intentionally sparse, but after seeing this tool recommended in several places I increasingly find myself coming back to it but at a loss at what exactly I would need it for. Assume that I already had access to the Breach Compilation - what would this tool give me in addition? What does it output?

I am using a virtual machine. Is there a way to use the breachparse data on my host machine instead of transferring all 40 GB of data to the virtual machine. I have been thinking of doing it over FTP but I haven't figured out how to actually do it

Hi,

Perhaps it's a good idea to add the info of what breaches the passwords are in the README.md?
This shows how up-to-date or out-of-date the passwords are and where they're from.

Currently in the dump there's a README as well with This is breach compilation from various data breaches combined into one.

Various breaches, which one's do you mean? Perhaps add it in the README there and here on github. Would be handy information IMO.
