iLiad Possible to offline read all threads?

rhari79 · 03-31-2009, 08:45 PM

Hi,
This may be the wrong place to post this. Please excuse if this is so.

I have been interested in the iliad developer discussions; One of my main reasons for getting an iliad. I like freebies a lot...

The dev threads spans back to at least 2-3 years. The discussions on suspend, kernel etc., are spread across many threads.
I know that i can download each thread manually

Is there a way to download say all threads in a particular forum category, short of doing a wget, which i hate to do?

If not, some of the LUGs site have an offline archive that can be used for this. Anything like this available for MR?

Thanks
hari

Alex has recently added a new feature that allows you to download whole threads as text (Click on thread tools, then on download thread).

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way of downloading whole categories.

Also have a look at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/archive/index.php where archive versions of the forum are stored. It should be easy to do a "wget" there. Shouldn't harm anyone, Google probably spiders those pages a few times a day...

I could have sworn that I was not able to download the thread on IliadOS project the other day when I posted this thread. But today I can. Maybe I missed something..

Thanks Patricia, -Thomas-
