Imagehost Grabber alternate download site or replacement? Sarah Connor <s.connor@gmail.invalid> - 2014-04-30 02:47 +0000

I'm not sure what's going on with Imagehost Grabber, but about ten days ago the author said at forums.imagehost-grabber.com that a particular version (from 2013) would be the last "until further notice", and sometime in the last two days, that website and www.imagehost-grabber.com became defunct -- host unknown. The github repository is even more out- dated, with no activity since 2012. The odd thing is that the going-away notice visible at https:// webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HLJ7xx-Gpv8J:www.imagehost- grabber.com/forum/index.php%3Faction%3Drecent +&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca&client=firefox-a says to get the download from the website that was discontinued a week later, and also says things like "use the forum's search function". Why would he say these things if he wasn't going to renew the imagehost-grabber.com domain registration, and that had only a week to go until it expired? That strikes me as very odd. Meanwhile, I've run into a problem that's apparently a known bug, fixed in a beta version that I have no way of downloading because I can't find imagegrabber-1.6.6.20130722.xpi anywhere other than the now-defunct download site. Where are people supposed to get this bugfix now? Didn't the author think of that before shutting down his site? It's not at addons.mozilla.org; why didn't he either publish it there as a separate item (maybe "IHG beta" or something) or else make the beta "official" if it wasn't too unstable? So ... does anyone know of any place (reputable!) that gathers .xpis for download, other than addons.mozilla.org? Or any way to get this specific one? Or even have a copy they could put up at Dropbox or somewhere and link me to? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was browsing around the site's ghost at web.archive.org looking for information about its impending (as of the archiving) shutdown and whether there might be some sort of forwarding address, when I clicked the beta download link on a lark. It worked! I didn't expect web.archive.org to archive the frigging binary. It doesn't usually even reliably archive all the images on pages. Go figure. So ... if anyone *else* needs a copy *I* have one. Or you can try web.archive.org.
