(...) Here's a very rudimentary application that does the same thing for those who aren't comfortable using the Terminal: (URL) Download BrickshelfBackup.app.zip> (26k; probably requires Mac OS X 10.4, as does the bscrawl.tcl script) Double-click (...)

Thanks for that Jim. I got the script working for user backup, and Peter Bartfai (the author of the original script) also got one working for user backup (before seeing my email that I'd gotten it working). However, while I haven't looked at Peter's (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Well, I had the advantage of writing it from scratch specifically for this purpose. It's funny because I had been thinking about writing a Brickshelf upload utility (like (URL) Flickr Uploadr>) but circumstances resulted in a download utility (...)

(...) There are many instructions how to install wget and even some installers. curl can't beat 'wget -m' afaik. (...) No official repository afaik. Last I heard was that we want to build it, but that requires a developer with the time to build it! (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) I didn't have any problem compiling and installing wget (although I did have to change the default install path by hand from /usr/local to /opt/local so that it would be in my pre-existing path). However, I suspect that most Mac users would be (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) OK, if you download and run the script now, it should back up all files (not just images). --Travis (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

However, links to non-image files from the Brickshelf folder pages point directly to /gallery/username/foo/bar.dat. (Ah, I see (...)

(...) Of course, I just tried bsbackup.sh again - the current version that gets all files - and it took 32:05. There's a little quicktime movie in there that probably accounts for most of the difference as the MPD files are quite small. So the (...)
