If we can get a dozen people downloading that site, we should be
able to accumulate an unbroken string of imagery.


You can yoink the last four and a half days of individual images from
the same folks, at:

Thanks. Now if there was only an easy way to automate (without knowing
how to write scripts) the process:

Using IE's "Save As" command, I selected "Web Archive" (and further
selection options to check "on" save-graphics), and it chugged down a
big, fat file of something like 60megs. (Since the site needs a
certificate, none of my stand-alone web-extraction utilities will
work.) Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a utility anywhere which
will extract all the jpegs out of that fat file.

Any ideas?


The only autograbber I have (Sitesnag) also barfed on the site, seems
there is some scripting that generates the page with the image. Brute
force clicking and saving wins in the end... =)

(BTW, I also need pics between 0409052345 and 0409060015.)


There is nothing between those two in what I have here, being only 30
minutes apart - which appears to be the period they are using. I've got
everything in the HiRes IR from 0409042345 on, yell if you need your
inbox stuffed! ;^)
