Echoing this sentiment. Never been able to find a proper PC tool.

Heh. Guess I should have waited to announce it. My download speed has been reduced to a crawl. Too many at the same time, I guess.

And only 51 errors. Soon as I clean it up and I got the time, I'll toss a copy up somewhere. Give me a few days. Medicare open enrollment is a bitch.

It's really disappointing that WOTC sent this Cease and Desist letter, because to me it shows that the company is not confident in the quality of their product.

Damn, that's tough. It was easily the best site for quick n' dirty fact checking on 3.5.

Worst thing? We're fast approaching 5th edition. Not many years from now we'll be going to 6th edition. 3.5 books are OUT OF PRINT (AFAIK). Why even care about this?

Because it provides viable competition to 5e?

i only get a 502 when trying to access the site, i assume its ship has sailed.

however, if you all are having luck backing it up then may i suggest Burnbit.

It's 502ing right now due to heavy stress on the server; probably from all the backups.

That's exactly it, they want older editions dead and buried; especially good ones like 3.5e
