A static version of the site, including all of the found lists, is
currently available at temp.hashes.org.

I'll have to disagree with you there. :) The hashes.org founds contain 100%
of RockYou - as well as 100% of other similar plaintext leaks (such as the
more recent LiveJournal leak) - due to their presence in other lists (such
as the Have I Been Pwned corpus). Since these were cracked using those
original plaintexts, they are fully represented.
The leaks on hashes.org are from a variety of sources, platforms, and time
periods - and therefore a variety of demographics / cultures / countries.
Also, the crack rate for fast hashes is much higher - on the order of 99%
and up for many leaks based on fast hashes. And the success rate is
constantly going up, as new leaks are made public elsewhere and are used as
raw material to attack old lists.
For these reasons, the superset of all hashes.org "founds" is one of the
most efficient broad-spectrum attack wordlists (that is publicly and freely
available) for real human passwords.
(The hashes.org "junk" founds are those founds that are less likely to be
human-generated passwords, but are also very useful as a later pass, for
cleaning up non-human-generated founds in target hashes.)
