Recursive Downloads
There should no longer be need for repeated downloads.
Have you ever found yourself downloading images from a gallery? A mechanic series of clicks to get images one by one? There is a better way.
The simple method: If you are using Firefox as your Web browser, use the FlashGot extension.
The better method: If you are working under Linux or Mac OS X you can become even more efficient. Use wget
as in the example below and replace http://SITE
with the Web address to be downloaded from recursively.
wget -r -l2 -t1 -N -np -erobots=off http://SITE
Keep the volume of downloads low or else this will be considered an abuse and frowned upon.
