Sweet! Many Thanks Scout. 👍
Nice
I have a WinHTTRack (https://www.httrack.com/) running which seems to be pulling the pdfs. Just cranked it up but can confirm some of the smaller pdfs have downloaded correctly.
Here are the settings I am using.

Options.Limits.Maximum mirroring depth: 3 (might be able to use a lower value)
Options.Limits.Max transfer rate (B/s): 100000 (so the site doesn’t get a DOD, but not too slow that it takes forever)
This is awesome, thank you very much!
This is freaking gold. You can download all 455 PDF’s in a bar on the left side of the webpage. Bottom of the list.
It’s called “armchaircommando.zip.download”. That way you know. File size is 6.42 GB. Should take around 90 minutes or so with a fiber optic ISP.
Well, that’s a lot more convenient than running WinHTTrack…
cannot find that option anywhere on the site
It’s below the long list of books. On the right. It has an Arrow pointing downward with a flat bar on the bottom and it says “455”
I found it now, thanks for the help
Outstanding collection, classics. Thanks brother!

Thank you! I am a knowledge junkie, and I collect books. This is a real treat.
Thanks brother! And thanks to everyone at AP, ALL of you guys have been absolutely KILLING IT. Much appreciated, & much respect.
The continued & unstoppable rise of the Mossy Oak is a beautiful thing to behold!
Thanks brother!
Paladin Press and Soldier of Fortune magazine were sort of the early dead canaries in the cancel culture coal mine. I never would have thought the 1st Amendment was so fragile in my younger days. You can still find similar risque material near the top of your search results, conveniently sponsored by DHS, FBI, or their contractors :-)

The George Hayduke revenge books (!) and hopefully the Foxfire cabin building book will be in there.
Pappy used to have Soldier of Fortune and uncensored WWII magazines around for perusal but this was before the Wokekanda unity utopia.
The comrade kommissar Billy Ayers Prairie Fire should be in there and Yuri Bezmenov.
I have those but no way to share after the great file hosting purge of 2012 under Chicago Jesus.
Huh,see me printer grinding going grrrrrr…….,this might be it’s demise,have a backup and will fix this one when it croaks.This is a treasure chest of info.,will get all and print what fits my needs/choices,to down load all at once awesome!
Thanks Partisan!
Thank you, Sir!
Frtom behind the lines in FEMA II, thank you for this!
I purchased a stack of their books when they had their fire sale. Looks like I can get the ones they didn’t have available then. Thanks!
Man, you Absolutely Rock, Scout!
Nah brother y’all do. It’s this audience that sent me this and it’s this audience that’s gonna do good with it.
Oh the good ole days. The wayback machine (https://archive.org) has more than I have time to absorb. The wealth of old military pubs tm’s etc, films, and any thing else old and genuine has kept me reading for over 40 years.
6GB (1 day left to download)
Also, if you can afford it, don’t be cheap and support foxfire.org, where the books are still available. They are still preserving that heritage.

Got the download – thanks for the heads-up. Having trouble getting it to extract because of the .jp2 file format. Tried several ways to extract but can’t seem to get a readable file after. Can one of you offer a good way to do it, please? Thanks
Thank you for posting.
