wget-list a multiple file downloader
Posted: Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:30
Faced with downloading 300+ science fiction novels from Project Gutenberg I extracted the files web addresses from
http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Science_F ... Bookshelf)
and saved them in a text file.
I then put together a simple script file which I linked to the OpenWith menu. If you right click on a .txt file containing urls for files and choose wget-list from the OpenWith menu it will download them to /root/my-documents/download. This can be a symlink to somewhere else if you set it up first.
Hope someone else finds this useful.
PS - I'm including the SciFi list too. Now if I could just figure out a way to easily rename them with author and title.
