I'll have to wait and see. Not exactly sure what I've done and as I've made several changes, I'm not entirely sure I ever will.

I've not tried at any time to capture the whole www.stratossupersite.com - just www.stratossupersite.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2 (the main discussion forum). I thought I had the password thing correct., but just got two threads.

Instead, I've created a new project and gone for www.stratossupersite.com/forum (all of them) and followed HTTrack's directions to grab the settings (by temporarily setting the proxy to my own local IP etc., etc). Somewhere in amongst all that it's working.

Now I wait... and wait...

I´ve got 5.65 GB and over 170000 files at the moment and the image download of the whole site is still in progress!
Has anyone got an information at the moment how much it is at all ... ?

The folder on my drive says 2.27Gb, 515 folders and 33291 files. I seem to have downloaded various video files.
Don't know where the rest of the 5+ Gb I downloaded is!

As shown on the actual forum right now?

You can list for longer periods.

It does have something to do with that yes, but like others I have changed it to show all threads and included the user id and password but just the same. so now have types in the URL of all 153 pages and set it off again so lets hope this works or we will be out of time, daft thing is you only get 2 threads but all the pics like 1000's of them!!

1 Day to go so lets hope

Same as you guy download told me 5.9gb and noe just over 2gb, maybe its the temp files it creats when trying to trace the threads?

Yes I've only got 2 threads.
Could the last 75 default day be set now?
We might not be able to turn it off.... Only current threads can be extracted...

**ChrisCar6** · 19-02-2012, 01:40

As I said, i seem to have all the threads, it's just you can't access them from the index in the on-line way.

Oh I hope not. We have to be able to access and navigate them more easily than what Chris has found.

Downloading the forums now: 7 hours 40 min, 2.5 Gbyte, 37k files so a while to go yet then, I'd guess. Wasn't going to bother with the top level pages - www.stratossupersite.com, only the forum and galleries.

I am doing a second download, converting the php files automtically into html files.

Maybe navigation and access works better then.

Hi Peter,

Will these be lost forever, or are you going to upload them to this site?

I don't think I can delete them Brent. When the site first opened up again, I started to delete my PMs in an attempt to limit exposure of personal data etc. I got some way into this and then it stopped working. Now I find that I cannot access PMs at all and the edit button on posts is missing - perhaps it's just for me!

Anybody is welcome to copy them and use them in any way they see fit (subject to some conditions, below) but I have to find somewhere to host them and I don't want to have to maintain two sets of them while hosted in two different places. Unfortunately they probably cannot be hosted here due to two reasons:

1. The club claims copyright on all material posted here - I cannot allow this as I've put too much work into them to lose control in this way.
2. The club may place restrictions on who can access them - either as registered users or paid members. This is not acceptable to me. The old site was perfect because it never did.

Just haven't found a home for them that's car-related and relevant. The classic Lambo forum (mostly USA) is a possibility. They'd need to have a GNU type license to prevent charging for them - something along the lines of Wikipedia but I haven't looked into it. As the saying goes, "let no good deed go unpunished".

Meanwhile, if folk want them, just ask. They won't be lost for all time Brent - are you on FIAT group that could host and that would meet my requirements?
