When I asked JP about the site going down and asked if I could
help. He explained the hacking involved financial damage that was going to be difficult to recover from. He agreed that it would be
good if
Forum could recover the site and host it, and gave
his approval. He told me he
had given the site the
Israel Numismatic Society and I should contact them for permission and access to the files. At this point, I have been told he is not interested in going online at all and isn't even answering email.
I contacted the
Israel Numismatic Society and was enthusiastically encouraged to restore and host the site, but they do not have the files or access to the old server.
So, it appears I must restore it from the waybackmachine and, as
Craig noted, recover the images from the old server. The problems are: 1) The waybackmachine modifies the pages for their site and they will all have to be modified. 2) The site is HUGE. Just getting the images from the server will (by the method known to me) require thousands of clicks and saves.
I have not yet contacted the waybackmachine for
help, but unless someone else has a great idea, I will.
Anyone know how to batch download the images?
