Huh. I've heard bits and pieces about it being Mach, FreeBSD, and Darwin and hadn't taken the time to figure out how those fit together. Thanks for giving me the impetus to understand it (the "XNU" bit was a particularly helpful missing element). Thanks! -tim On March 24, 2017, Samuel Thibau

OS X and apple used a modified BSD kernel (they called it Darwin). Also, because of the narrow range of hardware they allow their OS to be installed on, just about all of the modules that would normally be externally loaded are actually compiled in. Apple also kept the standard execution environ

I believe I will try the uget idea first. it seems to require only one line of commands. As I do not run Linux directly, the most simplistic and efficient path works best for me. I got lost in all your lines of command there laughs. On Thu, 23 Mar 2017, Tim Chase wrote: On March 23, 2017,

A quick Google search tells me that {1..30} in the url will tell wget to download everything in the range 1 to 30. So, the appropriate command for mass downloading a story from FF.net might look something like: wget https://m.fanfiction.net/s/[storyID]/{1..[numberOfChapters]}/[storyTitle] replaci

Interesting ideas. I appreciate the education. An example of a mass downloader included with a Linux shell? I want to test this, but am unsure of what tool to use. The editing is not a problem, I am far from picky about it having, with the work was smaller, used the m.edition of the site to sec

A few thoughts: changing www to m in an FF.net URL gives you the mobile version of the page. For story chapters, this greatly reduces the cruft at the top of the page and somewhat reduces the cruft at the bottom. The format for story page URLs is https://m.fanfiction.net/s/[storyID]/[Chapter#]/[s
