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 yet, mine definitely appears more difficult to use
than yours.

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 Flickr Uploadr) but
circumstances resulted in a download utility instead.
| |
It requires wget (which Mac OSX doesn’t ship with), so it would
have to be distributed in a DMG for Mac users.
|
On the other hand, Mac OS X does come with
curl, so maybe it could be
adapted to use that.
| |
I’ll probably post the scripts somewhere anyway, so that at least Linux
people can them it if they so desire.
|
OK. The more the merrier! (I think that Tcl and
tcllib come with some Linux distributions,
too, but I don’t know for sure, so a plain shell script could be a useful
alternative.)
| |
The original script grabbed all .ldr, .mpd, and .dat files from all of
Brickshelf, and I ran that last night, so at least none of the CAD models
will be lost. I don’t really have the ability to host them at the moment,
but I may make them available at some point in the future.

Wow! I can see how that would be a useful script for testing LDView, too.
Speaking of hosting LDraw files - what exactly is the story with the
“Official Model Repository”? Is there any
such actual repository? If not, would this be a good time for the LDraw
community to implement the idea? (Forgive my ignorance if this topic has been
resolved one way or the other - I’m just curious.)
Anyway, Brickshelf must be going out with a bang as far as bandwidth is
concerned.
Jim
