Public Service Announcement

Apparently the BBC DW homepage will be updating right after EoT part 2 has aired. Which is good, but here's the bad news... many folks are noticing that new series stuffs are beginning to disappear, wallpapers in particular. If there's anything you want off the site, I'd grab it now, just in case.

And... here's the really bad news. You have less than 24 hours at this point. Does anyone know how to save an entire site? O_0

I'd check here regarding archiving the site.

I've not used any of these so I can't recommend a specific app.

ETA: You may need to go through a UK based proxy server to get some of the content (multimedia)

Trying now... seems to be downloading ok thus far. Thanks for the link! *crosses fingers*

[rattus-aerius.livejournal.com]

Why would they do that? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

No idea. I haven't noticed anything missing, but a few other reliable folks have.

[shield-wolf.livejournal.com]

An overzealous reaction to the regime change? Or a hint about how thoroughly RTD's era will be removed from future influence on the character and the show? Either way, it doesn't sound good....

wget. Be warned, though, it'll save the ENTIRE site.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I'm trying out Win WSD right now - is wget similar? I'm getting error messages on some files, which I'm assuming is the UK content - I have most of that already anyway.

'M ok with saving the entire site - I'd rather have stuff than not have it if it does indeed disappear.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

wget may be linux only...probably the same thing as WSD.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

You'd know better than me. ;)

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Heh. I haven't booted windows in awhile. :)

I hope you manage to get their stuff all backed up. It's tragic that it might not be available soon.

Why BBC WHY?

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping it isn't true, myself. This program has backed up over a gig of stuffs thus far, and is still running. If the site does indeed jettison stuff, feel free to bug me for a copy.

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

*crosses fingers that it's a vile rumor*

I've been going through and snagging all the wallpapers. Just in case. But if it is true, I will definitely be harassing you.

I am so glad you're taking this precaution!

If you start running into problems, I suggest divide and conquer. :)

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

It looks as though everything is downloading with the exception of the UK only content... at least thus far, but I'm afraid to open the folder and actually look - it's close to 2 gigs now and still running without any sign of stoppage.

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure they are just moving the content over to the archive pages, it'll probably end up here http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/index.shtml with 1-3.
