Downloading all the .zips on this site


Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out a way to help my mom get the all the .zip from http://www.annthegran.com/free_designs.html. All the files seem to be stored in http://www.annthegran.com/Archives/Archive*/*.zip however
1. I don't know of anyway to use wildcards in wget...though i have seen people use scripts to do so.
2. you need to go directly to the file to download it...so you can go to http://www.annthegran.com/Archives/A...kyAlphabet.zip but not http://www.annthegran.com/Archives/Archive019
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but if anyone can help me figure out a script to do this it would be much appreciated!

Hey
what about trying:
$ wget -m http://www.annethegran.com/Archieves/

this should mirror the site from the Archieves directory downwards.

mmm, I guess they don't like you doing that then!!

I guess it might be that they don't let you into the directories where they stored the zip files, unless you specifically request the file.

Well not exactly solved (though I really do like that -m option, just used it for another site) but I downloaded BlackWidow for windows and downloaded all 6,000+ files (Can you believe she was doing them one at a time!?)
