Thank you all foe help! *Zan Lynx: *Thank you! I didn't know that! Mostly, I am using R, but I will try with Python. It seems very helpful. I have tried to download data from archive.org (in R there is a mboxr package to load this data as tibble), but I have a problem with utf-8 encoding (lack of some polish letters). I think that the problem occurs because of the data itself (not importing them to R), so I am looking for another way to download this data.
John Wendel: I forgot to tell: I am using Windows 10 :) I found the UUDeview version for Windows - I will try, thank you!
