OT - Downloading multiple pics ?
mcerd1 - 21/11/13 at 02:56 PM

is there an easy way of downloading multiple pics in one hit from an online archive ?


at the moment I'm having to resort of opening each one in turn and right click saving it and there are a few thousand to do

as far as I can tell the are all in one folder and are numbered in order so there must be a way of doing this....


any thoughts ?

You can get the windows version of wget. It's a command line tool that allows you to download an entire website from a url downwards so downloading all the pictures from a single directory would be simple enough.

Alternatively there seems to be a gui wrapper around it here http://www.cybershade.us/winwget/ but I've not used it.
