Can I download specific threads like "scientific videos collection" or "evolution resources" from the list, or would I have to download the whole package?NineBerry wrote:Okay, here is my status.
There are altogether 110,313 threads.
74,395 of those have been safely and fully downloaded.
In these, there are together 1,968,794 posts that are already save on my hard drive. 26,414 different users have contributed to these posts.
Here is an automatically generated list of the threads I have: http://www.neunbeere.de/rd.net/Threads.html (5.2 MB)
Here is an automatically generated list of the users I know: http://www.neunbeere.de/rd.net/Users.html (1.2 MB)
Most of the links in those files don't work yet, because the other files are not there yet. Here is what an automatically generated table of contents for one user looks like: http://www.neunbeere.de/rd.net/Users/24276.html (270 kb)
29,484 threads are forever lost. Those are threads that have been deleted at some point during the life of rd.net by administrators, those that are not accessible to me (because they are in mod central e.g.) and those that are empty because their posts have been merged with other threads.
6,434 threads are still pending. These will be downloaded over the next hours.
Here is what I still have to do:
1. Wait until the pending 6,000 threads have been downloaded
2. Then create final table of contents for all users
3. Download avatars from rd.net for all users
4. If all that is finished: Adapt the actual forum files to fix internal links and remove content that is not needed
5. Then package everything together and give to anyone who wants it.
The "Scientific videos collection" is currently inaccessible on RD.net (to me), and I see they've cut it from 6 pages (when they had 25 posts per page) to only 2 pages.
