Yahoo took down starwars.yahoo.com on Dec 15, 2009 and redirected the site to starwars.com. We saved 99.9% of /users/, /forums/, /links/, and a smaller percentage of the other content on the site.
Problems encountered:
- Yahoo issues an error 999 after about 30 minutes of fetching from a certain IP. We used two approaches to get around this.
- TOR (slow as molasses, but worked) - collected using httrack
- multiple IPs (fast, but needs large IP resources) - collected using wget
