I have a webpage with several small files (75+) How can i download all files automatically?

You may want to look into cURL, by opening your terminal and typing "man curl". I don't know if OS X comes with wget or not, but that could work too.

Huh?

For what it's worth, I believe only curl facilitates range values. You can use syntax like this:

http://{a,b,c}.site.com/[1-5].html

This will get everything in the [1-5] ranges for each of the items in the {a,b,c} set. You can have as many ranges and sets as you like. The full command would look like this:

curl http://{a,b,c}.site.com/[1-5].html -o "#1_#2.html"

Where the #1 and #2 will be replaced by the set/range values.

is their an application or is it terminal only?

curl a command-line program.

There is probably something out there with a GUI. Have you checked MacUpdate?

right, I'm familiar with the command. Maybe its just the immature college student in me coming out, but a command "man curl" just sounds comical

I knew a guy who wrote a utility for his group at work and named it chowder. No one got it until the first time they had to look up the help online.

There's a Firefox extension called DownloadThemAll that will pull all the files of a specified set of extensions linked from a web page. Works pretty well for downloading a bunch of MP3s on a band's web page, for example, or all JPGs in a photo gallery.

See also stuff based on wget like Deep Vacuum

Doesn't OmniWeb have this functionality? It used to at least.

This might also be worth a look. Bit limited, but quick and effective.

Incidentally, it's a curl GUI in widget flavour

Old school is being able to say 'finger me' with a straight face.
