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.

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)
