I downloaded and installed HTTrack today, and instructed it to download the fieronews website. I didn't change any default values. It's only downloading at a rate of 24KiB/s. (After 50 minutes, it's downloaded 73MiB.) Maybe I should've started this last week! Is this slow download speed normal? No, I'm not using a dial-up modem.

No its usually pretty fast. I got it all in a few min but I have a gig speed connection. I have all the files so if you are looking for something I can still provide them for you.

Thanks for the offer Thomas, but no, there's nothing specific I'm after. I just didn't want all the files you've collected unavailable in case there was something in the future I might want.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's used HTTrack to maybe let me know if there's some default setting within the program that I should've changed. Maybe downloading the whole website is unnecessary. Maybe I should've targeted certain areas/folders instead?

Bingo!

I poked around in HTTrack and discovered under Limits that the default setting for Max transfer rate was 25,000 B/s. I've changed this to the maximum setting offered and it's now 250,000 B/s. I don't know if there's anything else I should change, but at least it's 10x faster than it was!

[EDIT] I just discovered that I could simply eliminate the Max transfer rate limit being set by HTTrack. My download speed with HTTrack at the fieronews site currently seems to top out at 960,000 B/s. Things are moving a whole lot faster now than they were originally!

Odd, HTTrack reported it was finished downloading with 3331 files/ 62 folders... 3.33GB total. Anyway, I probably got what I needed.

Thanks to Thomas for making this all available.

After trying to DL the DIY manual for 86 weeks ago and it getting stuck at 30%, I was able to DL it tonight successfully, thanks again.

I used “wget”
It’s “command line” but it’s relatively simple to use.


Thanks again, Fiero Thomas!

Today is the day. Hosting should stop soon. If it stays up cool but I have no control over it going forward.

I will still have the email address and own the domain name.
