No, I can't make the contents downloadable. They belong to the site owner not me. But do not fear that it might go away forever. The site owner plans to get the sites back up (hosted elsewhere) and that will be the end of it. In general terms, as it relates to other classiccmp-hosted websites - If a site owner deceases or similar, then I'd have to get permission from heirs or determine if the content was truly abandoned and if so - then I could keep the site running and available in perpetuity. But the three sites mentioned clearly have an active owner - and that's not me. My intent by posting that was not to create/expose drama. My intent was to let folks know that I went to fairly extreme and generous levels to make sure the site stayed up; it's not in my nature to turn off a classiccmp-related website. This was a unique situation. J
