I did see answers to your post. Three possible options:

USE NOTEBOOKS. The archive is just a web presentation of the list’s notebooks. You can download those notebooks, which are text files. 

To find what notebooks exist send a message to listserv@<your site url> containing, in the body of the message:

    INDEX SHOE

You can then download individual files with

   GET SHOE <notebook name>

You an put multiple file names in the request.


USE WGET

wget is a command-line Unix command that will download an entire website, or parts of it. Check the man pages for details, or get help from a Unix/Linux guru.

USE THE BUILT IN DATABASE FUNCTIONS

Listserv has a good database interface. Get the List Owner’s manual from the l-soft website for details on how to use it.

Best regards,
Larry

I asked LISTSERV tech support and they did confirm that there is a folder with all of the messages so I should be able to tell York U to zip it and let me download it, but I thought I would try this forum to see if you have other suggestions because I'm pretty sure York U is not going to be helpful.
