HTTrack is really easy to use it seems, but the download is slow. We have plenty of speed here but so far it has taken 6 hours to get around 500+ MB and it isn't done yet. I get a download speed of 25 KB/sec :/ //Morten > Den 18. august 2016 klokken 16:09 skrev Brent McPherson >

Ironically, had we had notice that the same thing was going to happen to Softimage itself when Autodesk bought it (the way they informed everyone about Naiad ceasing to continue as a product) there would have been anger but it possibly wouldn't have been quite as volatile, since it would have been

OK, I am not getting much rational feedback here and if you are just picking apart every word I say with inaccurate speculation it is hard for me to gauge how serious the need is and whether it is actually worth any effort on my part. From what I understand the server was maintained by a

You should be able to snag a copy of the site using wget and it will probably be more functional than a backup since wget will convert all the embedded page links etc. https://www.guyrutenberg.com/2014/05/02/make-offline-mirror-of-a-site-using-wget/ Cheers! -- Brent From:

Look guys I am not an expert in IT. The wiki was hosted on a dev server and not part of Autodesk’s main IT systems so I can’t go to IT with the problem. I am working with the dev team to see what can be done. At the same time, the reason the team wants to retire it is because almost no-one goes
