• I have it on the quad, but haven't had a chance to ride it (long term restoration project).
  Seriously awesome axle though, I'd be interested in one for my LTR if you ever make more!

• Website mirror is complete and fully functional at 18GB compressed, 32GB uncompressed (just over 1,000,000 links functional).
  This means that I can't fit everything on a single disk, but a flash drive (or an external storage drive) would be an easy alternative.
  So, for anyone that wants a copy, you can send your flash drives to me, I'll copy the website to the drive, and send it back to you.
  I'll have to see if the files will fit on a 32GB flash drive (~$25), if not the price goes up just a little for a 64GB flash drive (~$40).
  Storage space is an odd thing when talking about compressed files, sometimes it'll compress and reduce space on a large hard drive but won't function when confined to a smaller space than its uncompressed size.
  
  Rainman...the pictures didn't show up, so the only option is to get them from Skully if he still has them.

• I've successfully downloaded the entire site on a 64GB flash drive, uncompressed at 31GB, but didn't have much luck with the 32GB (one drive was successful, the other wasn't, same brand, both new).
  The problem is that the program used to mirror and view the website does some strange quasi compression on the hard drive, and making a zip file doesn't reduce the size.
  So rather than possibly losing information and not really gaining anything, I've decided to leave it uncompressed.
  It takes my computer about 25min to move all of those files on a super speed USB 3.0, about 2.5hrs on a high speed 2.0. (3.0 is still expensive, about $75 for a flash drive)
  If there's anyone else who has some decent hardware on their PC that would like to share the load with me, send me a PM.
  
  So, the stats of the website mirror...
  19,922 threads and 206,674 posts, 25 blogs and 29 entires on the mirror, compared to 19,925 threads and 206,681 posts, 25 blogs and 29 entries on QRHQ.
  That means the mirroring missed 3 threads and 7 posts, which were all recent after the site came back online (I accounted for every post just to be sure).
  Every check I made of random threads yielded the exact same results in the mirror, so I can safely say that I have a 100% copy of the website as you can view it right now.
  
  Want to get your hands on it?
  Just send me a PM and I'll give you an address to ship a 64GB flash drive to (or however many copies you want, distribute to fellow quadracer fans, etc.).
  I'll copy the website on the flash drive along with the program to view it on your preferred browser, and send it back to you.
  Return shipping would be awesome, but it probably won't be an issue unless I get hammered with hundreds of requests.
  
  Check Google shopping for flash drives online:

  Or just go to Best Buy/Office Depot/etc. and get one there (you'll probably pay more for them at a store).
