You can also generate your url:
repeat n 50 [
;?? n
url: join http://online.new....&page= [n "&scale=40"]
?? url
request-download/to url join %file- [n %.png] ; <- requires View
]
The download can also fail, (eg. due to a 60 sec timeout) so, if the
images are not too big, then you can catch the error and try again:
if error? set/any 'err try [request-download ...][
; error occurred!
; need to try again
]
