Sequential file downloads

[Swa]

I need a program to automatically download files from a website. The only ones I can find grab urls from galleries or take a list of files. I just want something simple that will add a number to an url and save the files under that number. Must be able to take a start and end number of course.

DOwnloadthemall can do that

Are you talking about something like this:

FlashGet can do this. I'm not sure about the newer versions, I use an old one (1.9.6).

On which OS?
wget would be a simple way of doing it.

Works for downloading but can't seem to make it work for the saving. Unless I'm missing something.

Windows

wget is cross platform but it's a cli util which many people are allergic to.

A quick script (cygwin tools with bash) could look something like:

while read num url
do
 wget -O $num "$url"
done < input.txt

Input file is a space seperated list of number and url, eg.:

1 http://www.url1.com
2 http://www.url2.com

Got wget working with a script. Still looking for something automatic for the future though.

As I said...downloadthemall.

So if you know one image is say
http://www.img.com/05.jpg

then you change it to
http://www.img.com/[01:99].jpg

...then it tries to download everything till 99. You just need to figure out if the format is 001 or just 1

That isn't quite clear from the documentation. Nor is it how to change the url or how to save under different file names.

And yes, it should work for this.

You can schedule a bash script (cygwin) in windows:
