A couple options: 1) for individual stores, you should be able to use the "p"rint option in lynx to print the formatted story to a local text file that you can then read at your later convenience. 2) you can use wget to mirror a site, slurping down everything. Or a subset since fanfiction.net seems to have a nice URL structure, so you can limit your mirroring to just, say https://www.fanfiction.net/tv/M-A-S-H/ without pulling in every other TV show as well as movies, games, books, plays, etc. The command might look something like wget --mirror--adjust-extension --no-parent --convert-links https://www.fanfiction.net/tv/M-A-S-H/ You might also use a couple options to be nice to the host and not slam them with a bajillion requests, so you might add --limit-rate=25k --random-wait to wait a random interval between the downloads, and limit the slurping to a slower rate. Warning, this will slurp in *everything* under that URL (presuming you use the "--no-parent"; if you don't it will mirror the entire stinkin' site) possibly including comment pages. So I'd experiment with one of the smaller topics to get it working and see roughly how much a small mirror takes. If you have enough space and time, then point it to a full archive. Once you have them downloaded locally, you can use lynx to browse them offline (and, to a degree, even navigate among them as I believe it updates links or at least relative linking works) -tim _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
