In Verizon/Yahoo Blocking Attempts to Archive Yahoo Groups – Deletion: Dec. 14

This is the one I've been using to good effect: https://github.com/IgnoredAmbience/yahoo-group-archiver no Mongo database required, just plain old .eml files You do need to pull some cookie values out for the authentication to work, and the Readme is pretty sparse, but it does work.

In Options for Saving Yahoo Groups Content

I'm using https://github.com/IgnoredAmbience/yahoo-group-archiver , it has support for databases and files which is important for the groups I want to archive. It's not my project, but I'm working on improving it, somewhat fixed the database support yesterday. Trying to figure out how to add support for links, but I'm stuck at link subdirectories/folders; I can't find a way to list the links that aren't in the root dir with the API (though once I have the link name I can get them with links?filename=DIR/LINK.url)
