Also, it seems to only back up images (not sure why that is).
|
It looks like it’s only considering links to /cgi-bin/gallery.cgi. However,
links to non-image files from the Brickshelf folder pages point directly to
/gallery/username/foo/bar.dat. (Ah, I see you have fixed this.)

Make sure to put quotes around the URL on
the command line, since brickshelf URLs usually include a question mark,
which the shell will try to interpret.
|
That advice probably stands for my script’s -url option as well.

As mentioned, you must have wget installed on your system (which is there by
default on most Linux distros).
|
For anyone interested, I can confirm that wget 1.10.2 builds on my Mac with the following:
./configure
make
make install
|
|
As Travis noted, though, if you don’t have a /usr/local directory (as I do)
you may want to configure a different installation location.
For what it’s worth, I just did an informal comparison between this script and
mine. I timed the download of my account with each script. Keep in mind that
network variations and in particular Brickshelf’s heavy traffic make this a
relative comparison, not an absolute measure.
cd ~/bsbackup-test
time ./bsbackup.sh "http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=anoved"
|
|
This took 24:32 (using the initial version which did not retrieve my LDraw
files).
time bscrawl.tcl -url "http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=anoved" -dir ~/bscrawl-test -pause 0.01
|
|
This took 31:20 to download all my files.
So, it looks like your script is a bit faster as well as a bit smaller.

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 actual performance difference may be negligible.
And now I’ll stop wasting bandwidth.
Cheers,
Jim
