Postreal Media

This utility allows one to make a backup of an everything2 user's entire output. This is most useful for the authors themselves; use by plagiarists and other evildoers is hereby disallowed. The field is your e2 username as typed into the login field, and the radio buttons select whether you want one huge html file or a lot of little ones and an index. Results from a given noder search will stay on the server for about 24 hours before they can be refreshed, to save load on E2 and postreal.org.

There is some chance that this utility will error out a few times before you get a successful run. This is a transient problem with the E2 server which I do not understand -- just keep trying every ten minutes until it works. Also, for a large user search, some (about 1%) of the nodes will probably be unreturnable, which seems to be a related problem. I cannot repair either of these problems, as they don't originate in my script or server.

NOTE: After clicking submit, it may be some time before the results page loads, especially if you are archiving a great number of writeups. Just wait for it, and don't hit submit multiple times. Maybe go have a beer or something.
