Scrapbook and voice posts

Hey guys,
My subscription at LJ finally runs out tomorrow, and I realized that I still have all my Scrapbook and Voice post files over there. I went searching for a solution as to how I can download all these files without clicking every, single file.
I finally found this post. There's a Greasemonkey script created specifically to make downloading Scrapbook images easier. Then, you need a program like DownloadThemAll to download the galleries by the page.

As for my Voice posts, it seems that they don't exist. Apparently, LJ figured I don't have a need for them anymore and deleted them when I wasn't looking.

Seems to me they were deleted when you deleted the corresponding pages of your journal. The only way to get back the content, including the voice posts, as far as I know, is to delete the entire journal, then undelete the entire thing within 30 days. You deleted each page one at a time instead of deleting the entire journal (same as what I did).

LJ, as far as I know, doesn't have a server for voice posts, like it does for Scrapbook (pics.livejournal.com), so you may be out of luck, but maybe I'm wrong - I'll check real quick.

Wait - you did voice posts? Where was I? I never heard them.

OK, I was wrong, but I can't figure out exactly what the URL is that voice posts are kept on...did you try this: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/files.bml?showtype=phonepost

That's exactly where I went. Under the Audio heading, there's icons to click, to listen to the voice files. All I get is a 404 when I click them.

I did voice posts on occasions like when I went on vacation or I was too paralyzed by inner emo woe to type.

LiveJournal has a File Manager section that lists all of the voice files, with option to delete the files we don't want. It makes absolutely no sense at all to delete voice files, based on lack of posts.
