yeah well ..even a blind hedgehog occasionally finds a 'truffle'

on a side note

looking at the wayback machine archives..if I was to download all of them....and attempt a merge of such to get (hopefully) on kinda sorta complete (at least as far as the wayback machine archives are concerned) knc forums thread mirror.....

does someone with more expertise then me know of a program to do such

or

would it be a simple manner of just extracting all onto a hard drive 'ASSUMING' the web page threads are 'unique' to the pages/forums in question and just plain
copying over the same web links over and over ...which means ANY links DIFFERENT after this would expand the particular wayback merged archive I'm trying to make?

or

is there a better 'comp sci' process etc?

the reason just ONE newest archive is not good enough imho ..is KNC techs killed a lot of stuff that made them look stupid .others on here can verify such in that for a time you could do a search and see all the deleted posts they had tried to make (the techs of knc in 20/20 hindsight and glen tarkins efforts as comparison were more then kinda inept imho)

so on some archives i get down to the title of a forum post and it is not there ...so either

1) the wayback machine is hit and miss on how deep it delves branch/tree wise down with files ..and a lot is lost

or

2) it exists on some and not others an willy nilly catch all catch can and only a complete merge of all the archives available will give us the truth

anyway suggestions or hell tell me if it is a lost cause and only individual archives can be accessed at a time and not merged in the somewhat 'unexpert' manner I suggest

just ticks me off I never archived the works properly....lots of lost tech info on there (mostly from the users)

thanks
