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.
 
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
 
A quick script (cygwin tools with bash) could look something like:
Code:
while read num url
do
 wget -O $num "$url"
done < input.txt
Input file is a space seperated list of number and url, eg.:
Code:
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.
