Title: Downloading Forum for Offline Browsing
Post by: medicineman684 on August 09, 2012, 05:27 pm
Hello all. New here and just want to say that it's great to meet such a friendly community, I've been enjoying reading the forums but have two issues:

- my time connected to the internet is limited
-tor is slow as f*ck

Is there any way to download the forum for offline reading? If it was a regular site I would just use a web site ripper but this tor thing is new to me.
Thanks for any help.

I downloaded privoxy but not sure how to use it? Where do I put in the wget command?

kryptoz: thanks for the warning..I'm only going to keep on my computer temporarily, then will shred it.

privoxy: no clue

wget goes into terminal if you're on linux

Also, it'll take you a good while to download the whole site, plus since new listnings go up and taken down every few minutes it won't be accurate. Some tor nodes are faster then others, I would just keep trying 'new identity' until you find a fast one imo.

Hi Kryptoz!

Any particular reason outside of the time it would take to download it all? Just curious. :)

Cheers!

Well, would you like to have more evidence of visiting this site on your computer? It's not a crime to visit, but if they have good reason to believe you've been ordering from the site, and have seized any packages or have been watching it, and this turns up on your computer w/ PGP keys, you'd be kind of screwed at that point :-\

Just my opinion though, I'm pretty paranoid when it comes to safety, could be over judging, but I've seen Police put together things like this pretty easily and if a judge were to see all of that evidence, I think you would be proven guilty in court

I keep everything on my computer in one hidden folder which remains encrypted when not in use. Can't be too careful!
