    Uni solutions

    Not porn

    Basically, all the files i want are listed in a directory index, I'm going to parse the source and hopefully queue it all up


    Any non-suggestive answers ?

    yes, get FireFox:
    mozilla.org/products/FireFox

    then get the spiderzilla extension for it.

    It get's .html and .jpg files fine, I had some problems with .zip and .doc. But I'm sure it works once you figure it out.

    If you've got a slow or dodgy dial-up connection, everything over a few KBytes! The pause/resume downloads feature is fantastic.

    You can also limit the speed, so if you want to download a huge file then you can slow it down while you are browsing the web.
