Want the Downloadable FAQ?

I have a torrent for the downloadable FAQ from 2005.
It's the first one I've ever made so be kind.
I've uploaded it to mininova.org as well but figured I'd post it here. http://www.mininova.org/get/2559949
Let me know if anyone has any issues with it or if anyone knows of a more up to date copy?

thanks for the effort, but if your putting in the effort why not make it up to date?
might grab it in a bit.

I don't have the time/talent.
This is the downloadable that was available back then. I'm simply re-uploading it and making it available through torrent
(This way it should always be available somewhere)

I just wanted people who download this to keep in mind that a lot of info has been discovered/clarified since then.

I do too. It would be much better if someone would upload an updated archive. Any takers?
In the meantime, all the information you need to be successful is in this archive. You just really need to read it ALL and pay attention.
(Worked fine for me anyway)

51 downloads from mininova.org already. Sweet!
3 seeders right now showing on mininova as well.
A big thank you to everyone that keeps it seeded as long as they can!

I would love to, but I do not have the time right now. I am planning on leaving my job in a few months, so I will have more time to contribute to the hobby including some videos coming up as well as possible writeups (teks). I will add some sort of compilation to it, maybe one archive with every tek I have done described the best I can with high res images. Right now, however I can't even think about that stuff.

Awesome!
Glad to hear you'll be having more time to explore the hobby.
Would love to follow but will have to settle for another year or two yet.
Thank you!

Updating the archive as we speak.
Thinking of editing out all the fluff but it would take a Looooooooooooong time.
Don't expect anything but if I do finish the project it will be at least 6 months from now.

Ok.... need some advice here, if anyone has it.
I'm looking for any 'forum' specific tools for archving things. I would like to grab only the last 4 years of posts, along with the FAQ as it presently stands.
I am unable to find any tools that work in that way so far. Grrr.....
Anyone???
[gradient:#D4C7C7,#]Edit[/gradient] Possibly a scrip that downloads all of the subscribed threads of a specific user? I'd be willing to create an account and subscribe to all the threads with pertinent info and have it downloaded.
Damn this is a big task. This is going to take months!

best way to do that would be if one of the admins could export it from the database. I mean it would only take one long sql command to do 4 years worth.
I have a PHP script that I could modify to grab and store posts in a SQL format (or HTML or whatever) but it would take forever and I'm not sure mods/admin would appreciate one address hitting the server thousands of times to grab all the posts.

What you ask is simple, but it's an 'all or nothing' approach to downloading the forums. Just download and install the open-source freeware program "WinHTTrack".
You can not specify the last four years that I know of but you can specify file type or specific url like the FAQ.
I just tried downloading this forum with WinHTTrack and it works fine, however, I only downloaded a few minutes so I was only able to read the forum menu. Please only use this tool at say 12am-5am PST, this should mean less people from North America will be browsing so hopefully you will not bother other people.
Get HTTrack and use this url: http://www.shroomry.org/forums (for the forums). Then enter your username and password for 'robot' access to this site. Then sit back and wait for many hours...

Thank you. That's useful information but duplicate to the tools I already have available.
I'm really looking for more powerful software that can be programmed to act as a simple user or at least have it ignore various links. Right now the only way to do it is too time consuming. Less consuming than manually editing but still a daunting task.
