Would something like HTTrack work to download the entire site?

That would be perfect.
Thrystor, do you use Windows?

Yes. Not sure what this is, but I'll try it out.

I'll possibly download it.

Good news and bad news.

I'll start with the good news, because without it you won't be able to understand the bad news and most likely won't care.

The good news: There's an amazing website with all these amazing apps for artists to use. They have everything from vector editors to music-making things. It's called Aviary. I know 4 years ago there was a bit of a commotion about it on the forums, so some of you might know what I'm talking about. You can find it at advanced.aviary.com but before you go there, read the rest... If anyone came here from my link in my recent project, you will probably have seen my project "Dragons," which is only a small taste of what these apps can do. I made both the song and all 3 dragons in Aviary.  Aviary is excellent when you use it together with scratch, since you can animate all of the awesome creations you made and play the song you composed in the background. It's even good for voice editing. This sounds too good to be true...

Well it is true. But it won't be for long. You see, all of these apps are closing on September 15th. All that will be left is the photo editor for smartphones.

That leaves three plans for action:

You can either pretend you never read this thread and get on with your life, which is what I'm predicting most of you will do (And my predictions are usually pretty accurate),

Make a ton of stuff with Aviary apps now, and keep it all in the closet, which I will do, although I also have a third plan,

Or learn javascript and html, grab yourself some sourcecode, and get to work. Maybe I should have posted this in advanced topics...

So... Half the purpose of this topic is to raise awareness (better two months than nothing) for anyone who wants to try these awesome apps out, and the other half is to ask if anyone is willing to help me in this project I've taken on. I expect a lot of no's, but I'm a bit of a pessimist (especially where large projects not for the faint-hearted hosted on scratch are concerned. I've experienced much failure in that field.).

That's all. Post if you're interested. Leave now if you're not.

Someone with a ton of hard drive space please download the website. Before it is too late.

It's not hard drive space that's the problem, it's that it takes hours (maybe days) to download.

The other option is that I grab the flash files for you and someone who knows flash decompiles them and figures out how to get the image ones to run and how to make soundbanks.

I don't know anyone who knows flash... When I downloaded the site I started from the homepage. I'll try starting the download from the apps themselves next time.
