Thread: Useful information for download

Hello All,

This is a link to a lot of files from Model Engineer of ~196?. They are pdf files of workshop techniques.

Hope they are useful.

Thanks very much mate. Lots of useful stuff here!

Thankyou for this link, there are a heap of useful files in there for me too.

From the same site;

http://neme-s.org/Shaper%20Books/shaper_book_page.htm

Although it says "Shaper" - there are lathe and mill files in there!

or start on the home page;

http://neme-s.org/index.htm

Page navigation is idiosyncratic.

Hello all,

When I posted the original link, it didn't occur to me that not everyone would know how to download multiple files from a web site.
This subject came up on another forum that I read and this link gives a couple of solutions for Firefox and IE.

Cheers,

ha ha, dang it. this would have been useful a couple of weeks ago! I downloaded them all one by one. took forever.

Thanks anyway, ill remember this in the future!

Sorry!!!

It just didn't occur to me.

I had downloaded the files some time previously and came across the link in my bookmarks and posted it.

I used to use something else to download multiple files but the add-in for Firefox seems to be very easy to use. Only had it installed for a couple of days so testing is not complete.

Cheers,

Findlay.

Nah your right mate, im not having a go. It didnt take me that long to get em at all. But in future the firefox add on you linked to will come in handy for sure.

Thanks again.

Brendan

Amusing that the blogger in the above link "decided to switch to Linux", but didn't.

If he had, he could be downloading the files with wget, the command line downloader, (also available for Windoze).

One command

Code:

wget -r -np --level=1 -A pdf http://www.neme-s.org/Model_Engineer_Files/

gives you [output snipped]

Code:

Which gives me more time in the workshop.
