Hi Dónal, My response would also be to use wget or curl from the command line, but the Sitesucker interface might be easier for your friend to use, and it's easy enough to get this as a free app from the Mac App Store. It won't work to pull down content on sites where you have to dynamically generate the downloadable content by activating a pop up menu button, of course.
There's also a free app called Maria that is described as being a simple Cocoa implementation (with GUI) of wget. It was built under Snow Leopard (late 2011 release), and is also well rated in reviews at the MacUpdate site, which gives links to both the developer site and the download: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34207/maria The only comment was that it has fewer options for specifying the file types to download -- so if you want to pull down all files of a given type, and it isn't in the specified list of most common files (like MP3, PDF, etc.), then you have to pull down the whole site. Whereas Sitesucker may have a few more specific file types listed. (I haven't tried downloading Maria, since there's a limit to how many of these other apps I want to try out without knowing more about the specifics behind the original question. It seems likely to be accessible.) HTH. Cheers, Esther On Sep 9, 2012, at 11:32 PM, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: > Hi Esther, > > wget or curl are the ones I'd use for this myself.
