I just used LJ's own archive download, which took about 15 minutes to download 4 years, so not too bad. I'm on a Mac, so would also appreciate any advice. autopope commented on a program called Python, but I couldn't get it to work properly...
and http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2009/01/06/livejournal-makes-deep-personnel-cuts which has an add-on provided by an anon LJ employee - which I am still going to trust more then Gawker - and the official press release.
I downloaded ljarchive. It runs for several hours and then bombs out. I've tried about five times. My journal is quite large. I've been on lj since about 2001 or so and post several times per day. I'm so afraid of losing my journal!
I haven't been around that long, but I had a fairly large journal I think - over a 1000 entries and more then that in comments and replies. It might just be because everyone is in a panic and trying to get to it right now.

But the not-quite-that dire is good to know--I don't wanna leave! :-)

Glad to hear that it's not quite as dire, but still, making a backup is a good general idea.
