What software to use ?...

Hi!
I found a very nice site with pictures . I want to download a whole bunch of them automatically by using some kind of software. The URL for the first pic looks looks like this http://www.site.com/browse.phtml?f=download&id=1
the second pic
http://www.site.com/browse.phtml?f=download&id=2
......etc.
the last pic:
http://www.site.com/browse.phtml?f=download&id=1000

Do you know of any software that suports "mass downloading " based on a array of URL-s ?

Have a look at httrack. Is that the sort of thing you mean?

Thanks for the reply piersk. I need some kind of sw that can download manny files by changing only the last number of the url . E.g : this http://www.site.com/browse.phtml?f=download&id=1
then
this http://www.site.com/browse.phtml?f=download&id=2
etc. Does httrack do that?

Well, it will if you specify the address yourself manually.

Otherwise, I don't know any non-custom built software that will do that

I think wget might be able to do that. Not sure, check it out.

I know it would be easy to write a PHP script to do that, in fact I just wrote one somewhat like that but instead you give it a site's image dir and it grabs all the pictures out of it. Was quite easy to write. 😉 Just gotta make sure to turn off the execution time limit thingy on PHP.

Thanks jebster. I hope it works.
