This is pretty straight forward with wget.. wget -r -E http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sqlite/messages/ The messages are stored as numbered files in html format. What format would you like them stored as? The files have Yahoo banners etc on them that would need to be stripped out. You could strip ALL the html tags and save the files as text. I could do this, but when would you want the change over to be? eg: do we back up at 12:00am tomorrow and any other messages are archived with the current system?
