How would I go about downloading all the images on a specific web folder, if they're not indexed?


like, lets say I wanted all the PA comics from 05, the web-folder would be

http://www.penny-arcade.com.com/images/2005/(yyyymmdd.jpg)


How could I go about getting copies of all the image files in that folder? Is it possible to automate?

you could write a php script to grab them all. they're named following a convention so it wouldn't be hard.

unless they have that disabled, like tww does

There are programs out there that do this. I've never used any personally, so I can't suggest one.

I used to use a program called offline commander to do this.

I don't know if it's the best (or even if you can download it anymore, as I haven't used it in years), but it's worth a shot. go to download.com and search for "site rippers" and you should find tons of programs to do what you want.

will firefusk do this?

downthemall would work if there was a html page showing them all

curl -O "http://www.penny-arcade.com.com/images/2005/2005[00-12][00-31].jpg"

blackwidow will do it, but since they are all in the same folder and named in an organized manner, a script would be much easier.
