I've been using Cute FTP Pro to download this forum, and also Carl's, so I could archive them. Cute FTP Pro has a web bot built in, similar to what google and the other search sites use, but evidently Boardhost has modified the robot.txt files to block it. I tried the old Windows 98 program I was using when I first began archiving Carl's forum and it works, but it's really slow. Earlier today I was looking for software and found an extension for Firefox browsers that will do it without having to go into the Boardhost directory, and it's way faster than anything I've used in the past. Now I can continue archiving both forums, unless something unforeseen happens. The archives of Carl's forum gets hundreds of hits every day, and even though there's very little traffic on this forum the archives of it also get quite a few. If anyone is interested, the homepage for the Firefox extension is http://www.downthemall.net/.
