Where is the Old-LQ archive?

I used to see the Old-LQ archive in the old-LQ "/questions/archive" directory, and now i'm wondering where it is. Does anyone could point me to the archive? Or it has been moved since the site upgraded?

It's no longer needed. All old archive URL's now redirect to proper place.

Jeremy, I used to download the archive into my local hard drive. I used wget. Unfortunately, wget can not download the url which has queery string in it. Is there still other way to download the forum? I mean by using tool such as wget that can do mass download.

NOO - in fact you probably noticed that your IP was periodically blocked (and in the future your username will get banned if you log in while doing this). You *can not* download the entire LQ site via a bot, for what I hope is obvious reasons.

I see. Thanks for the information. I will not download the forum by wget anymore. Last time I downloaded the archive was February 2005. Please forgive me if it was wrong. I hope you understand all my mistakes.

Regards
