Hello, is there anyway to easily archive the contents of a website without Saving As on every page? I know Spiderweb was archived, I think by Aran. How was that accomplished?

Dude, don't worry about archiving. No one likes your stuff anyways. Why would you want to save it? Posts: 455 | Registered: Tuesday, May 17 2005 07:00 |

Basically the easy way is to make a bot do it for you. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

If I've understood correctly, then what you need is an offline browser or a web ripper or some such application. I've not used either, but there seem to be lots of freeware ones for Windows and Linux but none for Mac. Devonthink Pro apparently does the job too. -------------------- I think this is really wonderful. Posts: 147 | Registered: Tuesday, October 18 2005 07:00 |

wget is available for just about every OS, and has worked fine for me the times I've wanted to do such things. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I'd recommend wget too. The only reason PPP uses a lot more fancy stuff than just a bunch of files downloaded with wget is to count, format and properly link those posts. In fact, the next PPP run will likely be done with wget as well, processing the files for the database afterwards. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

You can also get Firefox extensions that do this pretty effectively. I think I used a scrapbooking one to archive the website for one of my math classes. -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.
