don't you know about `curl`?

[sootman]

curl -O http://www.8sluts.com/smb/a/suckmebitch[1-210].mpg

(that's "curl space dash capital-Oh")

Yeah, but I'm so used to doing wgets :-) People can switch to whichever one they're most comfortable with (though I admit your solution is nicer, being a one-liner :-)*

*I give credit where credit is due (all others pay cash :-).

And being a one-liner, you can skip all the 'save as a file, now chmod...' stuff as well. Curl isn't inherently better than wget, just different, and therefore sometimes one is better than the other. I also started off with wget, then found curl. For the kind of stuff I do, curl is often easier. It's handy to know a bit about both. It's definitely worth learning a bit about.

Here's another handy tip: say you have a site with images in folders:
site.com/images/1/img1.jpg
/1/img2.jpg
/1/img3.jpg
/2/img1.jpg

Thanks. Hope everyone takes note.

That's one of the good things about today's environment - so many choices.
