How do you do that?

The two methods I'm using are:

Code: [Select]
torify httrack http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php -W -O "/home/sapient/websites/sr_sec"  -%v -r4 -c5 -C -i
---and/or---

Code: [Select]
torify wget -mk http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php

I'm not really sure if one is better than the other, although the httrack command I'm using running 5 parallel connections while wget only fetches one page at a time. I'm pretty sure you could also use curl (lol).

I hope someone is pulling the vendor only forum. There is probably some valuable information on there that we should preserve.I wasn't a vendor or I would do it myself.

We shouldn't really encourage more people to put the strain on the server. Remember yesterday, errors popping up all the time? Those error pages will make their way into our backups should the same thing happen again. I will publish mine once it's done, which by my calculations will be in about 9 days.

Edit: I'm making my backup whilst logged in, so the vendor roundtable will be included.

My basic one will be done in a few hours, then the full one in a few days. The basic one simply is all posts from each thread saved in it's own html file name <topicnumber.html> whereas the full one will maintain the full SilkRoad forums structure so it can be browsed and hopefully kept like the Hive was somewhere one day.

I'm using 16 simultaneous connections and still the ETA is 9 days. I must be doing something wrong, LOL.

My basic one has stripped a huge amount of kerfuffle out :)
