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.

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.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.

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.

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
