Read Me

FFDown README

Mac and Windows users: Please read the README file for your operating system.

Python/Source Users:

Both command line scripts (FFDown and AFFDown) require python 2.x - THIS SCRIPT IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH PYTHON 3.
Python comes preinstalled on Mac and Linux systems. Windows users can download python from here: http://python.org/download/

You will also need a copy of beautiful soup, which is an html parser for python. 
If you downloaded this as a package (.tar.gz), Beautiful Soup 3.0.8.1 is already included.
For reference, Beautiful Soup is available here: http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup


Before you start - Applies to Python/Source AFF only

AFF requires users declare their name and age before they enter the site. This is done automatically in AFFDown's main method. However, in the interest of respecting the site's policies, I would ask that
each user modify the birthday/name line:

post = {'cmbmonth':'1', 'cmbday':'1', 'cmbyear':'1990', 'cmbname':'anon'}

Where each item is your your birth month, day, year, and signing name.



Basic Usage

python (A)FFDown.py (--noTOC) (--noHeaders) (--noTags) url (outfile)
If you don't specify an output file, it will default to output.html
