Hello, There is a community forum (running on the vBulletin board system) that has a download section that i would like to retrieve all the files from a section. Now, the only reason im doing this with wget and not manually downloading them is because there is a minimum of 1 minute between download times, meaning i would have to sit there and manually download hundreds of files while waiting 1 minute in between (that could take a while, also to note, none of the files are greater than 100kb so it wont be abusing the bandwidth of the site). I tried to retrieve the cookie file by using:
*wget --spider --save-cookies=/home/cody/Desktop/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --post-data='vb_login_username=user&vb_login_password=pass' http://**www.forurm.com/login.php?do=login* All that, that creates is a file with the timestamps inside of it (not saving the cookie information used to log into the forum). My plan was to use that to retreieve the cookie, then use the *--load-cookie* function inorder to re-login. On a side note, how well does wget handle urls that are formed like * downloads.php?do=file&id=###*? When you go to that url it will then propmpt you to open/save the file. Thankyou very much
