Local copy download is available
Dec. 29, 2014

We have noticed that a large number of people are mirroring the entire site using httrack, wget and similar tools. This places a significant load on the server and wastes our bandwidth.

We have created a compressed archive with all the pages on the site that you can download directly.
Please use this link instead of wget, httrack and other mirroring tools.

dndtoolshtmlcopy29122014.7z – 13MB Download

This copy was produced with
wget -mk -X /inaccurate_content —trust-server-names http://dndtools.pw

Use the 7zip utility to decompress.

Please note that site search and filters will not work on a local copy.

In 2 days time we will start banning or throttling abusive bots.
Now you can update your local copy with all of pw's updates to the original database, sweet.

Alas, check the date on that - 2014.  The date's even in file name, so I get the impression it's a 1-time thing.  Hopefully, they'll update it at least every December.

It'd be an amazing Christmas gift each year to the community.

Dndtools seems to be broken again — at least for me.

The connection keeps timing out,

Is anyone else having issues ?

First noticed this about 11 hours ago.

alcyius is unsearchable, it's only about as useful as the site copy I posted from before and I think someone posted an update for it.

Site search isn't as good as the search filters, which is the main thing I used it for

I wonder why it is down. This isn't like before when the site's domain wasn't renewed.

I really though it'd be back by now. I guess it is gone for good.  :(

Let's be honest. They aren't really from uzbekistan nor do they live there. It's hosted "from" there for ... other reasons.

Also I carved a local copy of the DB away from my meta compendium, but I can still pass it discretely.

i believe i have the dump db, as opposed to the proper one.

https://github.com/dndtools/docker/issues/1

like that but the 'echo' fix didnt work.

the expanded fix didnt fly either.
