thanks
Do you use http://members.macandbumble.com/ as the starting URL?
If the above doesn`t help, please let me know what do you experience? Do you have at least some pages downloaded?
Best regards,

I have tried to download this webpage. Many files ARE downloaded correctly, however, there is a problem with the galleries.
This is how the site is organized:
models_index>model page(includes links to all galleries>each gallery
when visiting a model page, the url has the following form:
/bmi/index.php@model_id=3
now, when you first enter the gallery, the url is of the form:
members.macandbumble.com/bmi/bfgallery.php?mg=15&size=large
After this point, it seems two problems occur:
1. Going to the next pages within the gallery causes problems
2. veiwing images causes problems
The reason is that when switching pages in a gallery or viewing the larger image, the link changes to the following forms:
/bmi/bfgallery.php?lastx=16 (for next page)
this seems to indicate that model id is no longer passed in query string. It only shows the offset of the image. For example, in this case, images 16-32 will be shown on next page. If there was only one gallery, this would not be a problem. However, since there are money, it seems everytime the next page is being navigated, that file is overwritten.
Also, when viewing and enlarged image, the url is of the following form:
/bmi/bfgallery.php@v=0
As you can see, once again no model id is passed. Somehow, the page knows which model`s image we are requesting. It seems to be some sort of session variable or something.
BTW, even though there is a drop down box on gallery pages, there is also a simple image link labeled next that does the job. I think the only way to solve this problem is to somehow capture that session variable or whatever and pass that each time and also store that somehow in the name of the html file so that the file is not overwritten.
If you need any more information, please let me know. I may even be able to provide you with a username and password.

for each gallery within a model`s page, i generated a link noticing that the link was of the following form: http://members.macandbumble.com/bmi/newgallery.php?mg=900&size=large
By incrementing the mg=x portion of the query string, I was able to go from 50 to 900. I did this in c# and wrote it directly to the WebDown.dat file within the OfflineExplorer program directory. Of course, I fiddled with the site options to exclude certain URLs and such and I can post that if anyone is interested. Then i place the approximately 900 sites within the sequencer and unsuspended the sequencer. Right now I am up to mg=400 and all seems to be going well. If anyone is interested in the little program and the setting I used to download the site, please let me know.
Also one last thing, the site uses some cookie when you log on. So, if you do not logon manually to the site when you enter offline explorer, the page links of the format above WILL NOT work. So before you download a site, go into offline explorer and manually logon to the site. I will modify the program a little bit so others may use it if they are interested. Currently, it creates a WebDown.dat file from scratch, but I will make it so you can just have it append the sites to the end of your own file so that the sites you already have arent destroyed. I am very happy right now :)
Gimme a day to fix up the program completely and I will post it along with some instructions on how to use it. yay!
One little note - you mentioned that files for all models have the same URL, which may mean that Offline Explorer would overwrite previously loaded files (for another model) when loading a new model. Is it so?

Well, the html files are overwritten. This is unless you put each site into a different directory. However, the image files are retained completely. So far so good, I have left it on for a while and it has downloaded most of the individual galleries with complete success!

I am having the same problem with M&B. Could you please forward the utility you wrote to assist with this site?
Thanks!

Any more information regarding the tool or the settings in Offline Pro -vs M&B?
Thanks in advance :-)

If so, then loading URLs from 50 to 900 would look like the following starting URL in an Offline Explorer Pro (or Enterprise) Project:
http://members.macandbumble.com/bmi/newgallery.php?mg={:50..900}&size=large
Would that help?
Oleg.
Could you please send me the app you created... or if anyone else has found a solution please let me know:
oequestion2@yahoo.com
PS.. for some reason... Offline explorer actualy works on 3 of the galary large photo sets... no idea way. But that leaves about 900 sets that dont work :)
Thanks!
> Okay, I have found a way to download the gallery sections. This took me a few hours and it involved writing a little program of my own in c#. Basically, this is how I solved it:

Maybe my solution with URL Macros will work for you?
Oleg.
I already tried this when I read the posting originaly. But it does not work for Mac & Bumble. I tried lots of variations on this as well.
Too bad... I think a lot of people want to use OE on M&B :)
Thanks,
Kevin

Please write to the e-mail specified in the forum. I replied to your last message and provided you my info for this site. Did you not get it? I will send again.

Oleg.
It seems that there was some confusion when we were writing because at the same time Mac & Bumble totaly re-worked their site. Under this new structure, all the downloads are working! Thanks for your help, but to all those listening in on this one... go try at Mac & Bumble again and it will work.
Now they seem to have limited their server to 2 simultanious connections cause I get 8 connections waiting and 2 going at a time, but over a day or two you can get all the images.
Thanks again!
