Just before the BNP band starts up again:-

I've found a nice web resource where some kind soul has arranged lots
of OE info in directories ans subdirectories etc and then PDFs & JPGs
in each.

How can I "grab" the whole lot onto my PC?

Reminded me of website work I did a bit of but when I tried FTP
programs the site won't let me log in, yet using http I can read/
download them all - but only one at once....

thanks
JimK

wget

it has lots of options for mirror all of or subsections of a website.

Sure there is a windows binary of it somewhere, assuming that's what you
need.

yeah I stumbled across this but seemed a bit long winded to setup?
(yet refreshingly compact!!) talk of environment variables etc etc
even in the WinWget readme's...

Was hoping for a "download, click and work" type windows xp friendly
gizmo - seems a simple enough task under FTP but I want to do it under
HTTP (....I think!!)

cheers

You don't need them (unless the Windows port is really weird). Command line
options do everything.

There might be a gui front end somewhere, but "wget --mirror" is a fairly
reasonable starting place.

There's a program from UNIX called 'wget' which is designed for exactly
that. Command line based, but very powerful. Here you a

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember JimK
saying something like:
