You need to download files from the server. Large nesting, and large volume:

4.0K	./image
432K	./font
328K	./download
8.0K	./uploads
4.0K	./image2
2.7G	./admin
17M	./mysql_db
166M	./torrentbar
4.0K	./logs
33M	./imdb
159M	./cache
1.3M	./include
24M	./themes
164K	./sounds
99M	./swf
184M	./avatars
116K	./editor
4.0M	./js
184K	./classes
568K	./albums
46M	./pic
12K	./Tweetylogs
2.9G	./torrents
20K	./backup
37M	./kinopoisk
48K	./languages
5.1M	./image3
3.9M	./css
1.5M	./radio
4.0K	./.filemgr-tmp
4.0K	./etc
344K	./blocks
