An automated archival system I built and have been maintaining since 2015 for Lo Zoo di 105, a popular Italian radio show.

What it does

• Daily downloads - Automatically fetches new episodes at 19:00 every day
• Audio conversion - Converts to 128kbps to save storage space
• Cloud storage - Uploads to rotating MEGA accounts (19 accounts, ~300GB+ archived)
• Auto-publishing - Generates WordPress posts with download links
• Notifications - Sends Telegram alerts for new episodes and failures

Tech Stack

• Bash scripts + cron jobs
• wget for downloads
• lame for audio conversion
• MEGA-CLI for cloud storage
• WordPress + WP-CLI for the website

Stats

• Running since: 2015
• Episodes archived: 2000+
• Storage used: ~300GB across 19 MEGA accounts
• Uptime: Near-continuous with minimal maintenance

The system has proven remarkably reliable over 8+ years, requiring only occasional updates when the radio station changes their hosting setup or when MEGA-CLI needs updating.
