in reply to Mass downloads.

When tilly temporarily left Perlmonks and there were rumors that his posts would be deleted (the rumors were that his posts were property of the company he worked for) i ... um, downloaded them all ... on a weekend, in XML format. This did not to seem to stress the server anywhere near as bad as a Super Search tends to (especially back then before tye made major improvements), but i had my script sleep for 1 minute between hits and let the script run for several hours.
