And it seems you can't download Yahoo groups files via wget or
similar (yes, I tried --load-cookies). You have to use a web
browser which means that you lose the timestamp and position in
the directory structure. And the ability to automate anything.

Computers were created to automate repetitive tasks and yet
everybody seems to design systems that can only be operated with
mouse clicks. Yahoo Groups, myspace.com...
