update2 - Apparently some usernames work and others don't

I believe his account is the only one that is made public. Obtaining a list of usernames is as easy as a 'site:oink.com' search in google.

update - seems that she had some success with links last night. Looks like they've fixed perms in the meantime.

Maybe that user is not available anymore or something else because if you try to download cristina-export.zip it sure works.
Indeed it does.

Wouldn't take much for someone to whip up a script to parse the search results to build a list of usernames to bounce off of. There's also a fair amount of item-specific data too.
You need to first trigger the export from the website, THEN the zip will be available for download.
alright this is just sloppy then ಠ_ಠ
It definitely still works. The user has to have requested the link for the file to exist.

I requested mine, so as you can guess it is downloadable by anyone.
