Are you guys also getting a lot of “connection failed” messages with backup? We must be pounding the server.

Watch him show up at the next lego convention and put up a table selling copies of the site on DVD :)

It’s going to be a nice house cleaning… I think amongst us we’ll save the “good stuff”

So long out of focus 1600×1200 shots of a fig in a tree.. I shall not miss thee.

In time this will be a good thing.

I can’t help but feel this would be a hell of a lot easier if Brickshelf.com had a Download All button.

Of course, it would be even easier if, instead of killing Brickshelf, Kevin would just transfer everything to someone else. I know there are plenty of willing people out there who’d gladly keep Brickshelf alive.

Thanks Luis and Bruce — we’ve added the links to the main post.

Kevoh: This is certainly something I’d like to do, but I’m crazy busy trying to coordinate some of the image-hosting efforts (trying, at this point). Any help in that regard would be greatly appreciated, though I suspect many of the featured MOCs will be captured by the rescue efforts underway elsewhere. I’ll give it some thought and post a call for help if I decide it’s worth doing.

Hey,

Above, Kevoh asked about an organized effort. I started a thread on Classic-castle:

for people to note which galleries they’ve saved.

smcginnis: Nope, but see Jim’s comment.

Jim: You rock. I’ve edited the original post to include a link to your LUGNET post. Yay Terminal!

I’ve just written a command line script for the Mac that can be used to download Brickshelf galleries like BSBackup. Read more at http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=53913 (I intend to make a nicer interface for it soon).

Andrew, does that downloading application work on your Mac?

Anyway, I’m very grateful that Kevin Loch put it back up for this.
