"I'm scraping the site as we speak with a 3rd party program"
can you say what program it is? i might need it for something else

[secretsposter2]

Yes! Absolutely! The program is HTTrack. I'm actually thinking about posting a short tutorial of how to use it on my tumblr. It's pretty easy to use but it can be finicky. Just make sure that when you use it you "ignore robot.txt" and grab files other than just HTML (Photos, zip files, etc)

Also, make sure to use "server tolerant" settings if you're scraping LiveJournal or it will IP ban you before you can get very far.

Could you maybe link to the tutorial once it's done?
That would be great and really appreciated. :)

[secretsposter2]

Of course! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

Here's the tutorial on my simblr.
