As promised earlier, here's a wget for 386,000 thumbnails, 2.3 gigs ... suitable for all sorts of things, in celebration of Porn Whitelist's first freak:
wget -r http://www.spacethumbs.com/tgp/thumbs -w 10
Why the -w 10?
Well, first off, this script will take about a month to run with a wait of 10 seconds ... if you do it quicker, all you'll end up doing is complicating your life, hogging up a big chunk of your own bandwidth for the next week, and filling up one directory with a TON of entries. Not to mention that if a bunch of people go all at once ...
So, go slow ... every once in a while, make a new directory and move a chunk of downloads into it so that you don't end up with more than a third of a million files in one directory, etc.

An odd group of folks, collected under one name. We live in the hills mostly, but some live where it's flat. Our roots go back through Western Canada, to eastern Germany. But it's a pretty small crowd here in North America. This site is for the "new world" Gutwin
Too bad - seems like an okay guy - after all, he runs linux on his server ... nice pictures of boats, horses, etc, though. Oh, well. To each his own.
Total to date: 3.0 gigabytes
