Did some investigation:

* The tar file (cnet.com.tar) is 489MB.

* Unpacked it's 536MB

* No database

* Around 30,000 files

* READ.ME has a promise of a copy of the database if you send this person 1BTC (not publishing their name here)

* Based on directory structure, looks like this is a release from 06/12 of this year

* Looks like the site is based on Symphony?
