http file downloader

hi there. I'm currently searching a data collection site that has massive amounts of files. One one of the pages there are a thousand or so files, but it seems they can only be accesssed for downloading one at a time. This is not an FTP server, but each file can be clicked and a single download will occur. Is there a way to write a script that automatically downloads all of these files at once? Thanks.

Did you try with wget ?

do you know if there's a window's counterpart to that? (internet connection isn't working right now under linux). Thanks.

wget works under windows / cygwin.

You can find a windows version of wget here.

thank you. wget is working in the windows console....i discovered of course that the page i was trying to download from resulted from a php script so I couldn't really massively download. But i found another HTML directory tree and it worked fine. thanks a bunch!
