These are not the pages from the torrent, just some links found on gorgeous
http://abney-family.com/, a site last updated in 2001.

They have classic pre-1999, or pre-Yahoo Geocities URL structure: neighborhood/suburb/xxxx

Unfortunately, when Yahoo! took over GeoCities in July 1999, Yahoo decided to make the whole Neighborhoods and Homesteads theme defunct [ …] Yahoo decided instead to go with “vanity” URLs to tie in with users’ Yahoo IDs

recalls Blade, the author of a comprehensive list of all GeoCities Homestead Neighborhoods and Suburbs.

Chowder ⁋ by olia

Surprisingly, the first directory in the Geocities Torrent — CHOWDER-DOMAINS — is a long list of almost empty folders with domain names, not Geocities subfolders. There is nothing about this directory in the README.TXT or IMPORTANT.TXT.

What all these domains have in common is the Yahoo counter, found at the very end of each site’s source code.
