I'm looking for an archiving solution for FF. I will keep trying Claudio's version here, but it hasn't worked for me yet. And once it aborts, I don't know if it leaves behind the pages that it was able to archive or where to find them if it did. Anyone know of other tools to do this?

Here's a link to Claudio's archiver: http://export-friendfeed.com/

I used one Pete suggested. You might search his comments for the link. I'll try to look, too, but my phone is wonky.

That seems to be working. We'll see how far back it goes. Thanks!

Oh, I think I know now why you were bumping stuff. That sucks.
- Jim #teamFFrank
I was just bumping things I liked. You couldn't get it to go back? :(

It went back to 2011. Maybe I'm not using it right.

The counter wouldn't let me archive past 5,000 -- I guess that's posts. It returned a 404 error at some point.

Ah. I didn't see how far mine went. I did, however, keep changing the start number, so I did 10,000 with a 5K count, 15K, 20K, etc.

Claudio's can't do more than 10k, as of right now.

Okay. I guess I am doing it wrong. What does count mean?

I need a mac-friendly solution :-(

I guess I'm still doing it wrong. I cannot get it to go back farther than mid July of 2011.
- Jim #teamFFrank
Anyone?
- Jim #teamFFrank
No you're not doing it wrong, the limit on the number of posts easily accessible from the API is 10k, all of the available archival tools, at this point do not address this. They don't do anything to go back further. At 10 posts/day, you can only go back to early 2012, using the API.
