Funny seeing this here now, as I _just_ finished archiving an old MyBB PHP forum. Though I used `wget` and it took 2 weeks and 260GB of uncompressed disk space (12GB compressed with zstd), and the process was not interruptible and I had to start over each time my hard drive got full. Maybe I should have given HTTrack a shot to see how it compares.

If anyone wanna know the specifics on how I used wget, I wrote it down here: https://github.com/SpeedcubeDE/speedcube.de-forum-archive

Also, if anyone has experience archiving similar websites with HTTrack and maybe know how it compares to wget for my use case, I'd love to hear about it!
