For the messages, I used https://github.com/andrewferguson/YahooGroups-Archiver Unfortunately, the (rather inadequate) Y!G API for files makes it difficult to iterate over files in a directory tree. I ended up manually downloading them, since it was only about 30 files and not worth ginning up something to scrape them. Some people have used https://github.com/csaftoiu/yahoo-groups-backup to get everything but it needs a MongoDB instance which seemed kind of overkill for a one-time dump. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Political correctness is tyranny with manners. -- Charlton Heston ----------
