Best way to download - maybe automated?

Postby jdm001 » Mon Oct 20, 2014 1:14 am

Hi,

Looking to download all the rare small stuff like Acorn, Altos, Ampro etc;

There's a TON of files; but it's all less than 1GB... probably even 1/2 that. I count 112 gaming systems that are in megabytes or kilobytes and have tons of files. I'd love to set up an automated download manager (a big no-no for huge files, i'm sure... that's a great way to suck up bandwidth); but for these smaller games would that be okay?

Each system has links to the zip files, but then you have to go to that page and click "Download now" to avoid mass downloading.

Any way to automate the clicking to set this up overnight on a random weeknight when bandwith would presumably be at its lowest?


Or, Hot Trout, would you be interested in selling a 3TB hard drive backup of everything on the server? I'd donate $100+ and pay for the HD too obviously. Plus, once you've done it, it'd be easy to sell that as a special request item.

I can paypal you within an hour of responding. Setting up a kids mega-system for the holidays and would love to get everything on one huge HD.

Automated downloads of bookmarked material including entire folders will be available in the new website which is scheduled for 2015. The new system will allow scheduled downloading as well. At present 3 TB download is just not an option,but if there is some collection you are after i might be able to do something with the new server.
