why not?

anyway, if you are allowed to view it, then why not keep it?

Heh, true. But OP, do the others a favour and don't use too many simultaneous threads for downloading. Just point the offline browser to thinkdigit.com/forum/index.php and download.

PHP is supposed to be dynamic... You cannot possibly download this forum without have apache and php running on your own machine, and having the complete mysql database with you.. Which no one will EVER give to you... So you can just 4get about it!

I think you are confudes kalpik. PHP is server side. What you get after you click a link is html and not php. I hope you are not running apache and php modules when you are browsing this forum :)

:lol: What would one possible do with the whole forum on the hard disk? Additionally, the contents keep changing. What do you do about that?

I just had a brainwave

Chor has a good idea anyway, why cant digit bundle the month's forum threads in a zip file or something and provide it in the month's cd or dvd? It sure would help a lot. Don't know if it is feasible though.

Most of the offline browsers have a function that can query if-modified-since http message that basically tell if a page has been changed and update the offline copy. This could make checking for and downloading new or modified links fast.
Infact, Digit could probably choose an offline browser to make a database of the forum and put it in their cd/dvd every month. If the customer has a Internet connection, they can do what I said above and have an up2date copy if they want. But I really don't know why anyone would want to download a forum in the first place.

Some Number Crunching

Let us say 50 * 266 //in memberlist 50 per page and 266 pages
1330 * 20 //say 10 % members post per month at an average of 20 posts per month
26600 * 100 // 100 characters per post (well i am keeping it to a minimum)
2,660,000

Around 2 mb per month
Come on dheeraj. Not that big I would say. Even if we go to the maximum of 20 mb per month for a year it is 240 mb. Most of the softwares in the Digit DVD come to this size. I still think Digit should bundle it with a good search engine with their mags. Also it would help the readers like me who prefer reading plaintext
