A simple macro program to download files
Nov 5, 2010 at 8:55pm
Hey guys. I want to write a program for myself which will connect to a website, press the appropriate download links on that download, starts a download manager, when the download manager completes the downloads, the program starts downloading more from that website.
Would it be possible? so i would have to read the data output from the download manager, and then at the appropriate event start some other downloads from that website.
I'll be able to do the backend for this, but how do I communicate with the website and the download manager?
is this kind of thing even possible?

If you know the URL to download from, then you could use libcURL.

er... don't download managers already do this? Isn't that the whole point of them?

Download managers, can queue up downloads but I doubt they can browse to a website and start a download of a file from that website..

DownThemAll can download everything that's linked on a single page.
But if you want to download everything that's on every link on every page on a single server -- I recall there was a program that could do that but for the life of me I can't remember the name.
