You need to have the following before you begin:

• DownThemAll! - a Firefox Add-On which you can get here or here. (Don’t forget to restart your browser after installation.)
• Create a folder named GeoCities in your desktop (or wherever you like)
• Your GeoCities account and password (this is the same as your Yahoo! account)

Time to get down to business…

1. Login to your GeoCities account.
2. Click the ‘Manage’ tab, then click ‘File Manager’ (see Fig. 2.2)

3. Select the ‘Show’ button; check all the checkboxes; then choose ‘Any’ in the dropdown box. (see Fig. 2.3)

4. Click the ‘Open File Manager’ link.
5. On your Firefox browser, click the ‘Tools’ menu, then select ‘DownThemAll!’
6. The DTA window will show up. Expand the ‘Filters’ option and make sure all checkboxes are checked except ‘All files’. (see Fig. 2.6)

7. Then in the ‘Save files in’ field, choose the GeoCities folder you created earlier.
8. Click the ‘Start!’ button and DTA will start downloading your files.

Just do the steps above for every folder and sub-folder you have. And if you haven’t noticed it yet, this will not download your html files, we will come to that later.

Now we need to save your HTML files. There are two ways in doing this - [1] repeating the steps above, and check ‘All files’ in the filter option of DTA; or [2] edit each HTML file in GeoCities’ editor and copy-paste it to your HTML editor.

The difference between the two methods is simple. The first one will have the GeoCities ads included, while the second method will only have your code. It is up to you which method you prefer, if it’s the second then continue reading.

Still in the GeoCities File Manager, do the following:

1. Check the checkbox of the HTML file you want to ‘open/edit’.
2. Click the ‘Edit’ button
3. Just Copy & Paste the code of your file to your local HTML editor.
4. Save it to your local GeoCities folder (the one you created above), and name it similar to its original name in GeoCities (be sure you also placed it in the appropriate folder/sub-folder).
5. Repeat for every HTML file you have.

If you get errors after a few DTA downloading, especially if you downloaded zip/rar/exe/mp3 files, you have to wait for 24-hours(?) before you continue again. This is a bandwidth limitation by GeoCities (which count towards your daily limit).
