Is there a way to download/save an entire thread?

[MotionMan]

I want to download/save this entire thread:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=38&threadid=1912812

Is there a way to do it besides saving each page, one by one?

Thanks.

Hit the little printer button, then copy/paste into a txt?

Ah, I had never printed a thread, so I did not realize that the print function grabbed the whole thread.

Thanks!!!

If you have Offline Explorer Pro or similar offline browsing software paste this link:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

Specify the levels of links you want and download.

I tested it and it works...

Offline explorer pro is available on Download.com

EDIT: Paste the full link, not the shortened one...

That was pretty cool. Could you explain how you did that? I'd like to save things too.

I'm not going to bother loading that PDF, but you can install CutePDF, which is a PDF printer. All you have to do is print a document, specify a file name, and it'll be dumped into a PDF. I use it to archive online invoices, payments, other important webpages, etc., frequently.

1) Click the right topmost printer icon in a thread.
2) The click the "Print this topic" link.
3) Make sure you have Adobe Acrobat or CutePDF (free) installed so that you can save the thread as a .pdf document.
4) Save file.
5) Upload to yousendit.com or any other site to share.

CutePDF is awesome, being able to create your own pdf's rocks.

The Acrobat PDF Printer is even more awesome, but it's just a tad bit more expensive. 😉
