Short answer:
Not OOKs (which are renamed BAT files) but ASFs.
Long answer:
Pressing "Q" will create $tmp$.asf containing all the links on the page
(improved since 1.65 to be a little smarter so it doesn't take so long to
download) - IIRC this is still an undocunemnted feature in Arachne...
Anyway if the user could choose which links to put in a download queue,
even from several html pages, (ok, it does work for ftp as well but they
are converted into HTML pages) I think much time could be gained for the user.
For instance the following is an ASF:
http://bernie.arachne.cz/
http://bernie.arachne.cz/download.htm
While an OOK to do the same thing would be:
@call arachne.bat -r http://bernie.arachne.cz/
@call arachne.bat -r http://bernie.arachne.cz/download.htm
But the OOK can't download from more places without user intervention
(exiting Arachne).
