How can I Harvest Links to make a data base?

Is there a way to scan the web and convert it to a Links Sql 2.0 data base?

Havest in the illegal sense? Wink

You can use Innerprise's spider to convert it to Links 2 format and then import the data into Links SQL, or you can use DMOZ data.

Well not really illegal, just unethical....but it depends where you are harvesting from.
