It's like surfing on the original site!
I'll do an update every week...trying to get it in the cloud sometime!
I tried this and I only get the last 30 days worth of posts in each forum.
The options at the bottom of the forum page would have to be set to something else like "from the beginning" but how would you do that within HTTrack ?
I'm especially interested in saving the Instruments forum for all the great discussions that occured when Cakewalk's synths were being released and discovered.
The "from the beginning" vs. the "last 30 days" default is set with a cookie. Some webcrawlers support the use of cookies.
I have set things up so that I can download everything from any size list of links to individual threads. My interest is not in getting everything, as we all know there's an awful lot of threads that are either worthless to begin with or dated. So I took a more surgical approach, but one that can also accommodate lists of hundreds (or even thousands) of thread links.
So far I have already backed up thousands of threads working backwards in time in the subforums that I consider to have a good signal to noise ratio. Cakewalk Instruments is in that category and I already have a few years worth of threads done from it (as well as from Techniques and some of HW too, but I think HW will become mostly dated as I move backwards in time).
