WGET fo windows
Ok here is a nifty little utility.
For thoes familier with *nix systems there is a utility called wget (i
know there are several flavours and GUI extensions but i'm keeping it
simple). For thoes who aren't familier, wget is a program for running
basic http calls to get files from a web server. Particularly handy
for mirroring servers and for getting files that due to java/flash and
other plugins are made inaccessable to get a copy of them on your
local computer. Being command line it lends itself to scripting very
nicely.
(command line) usage:
wget [address of file] [options]
windows vertion can be found here:
WGET for Windows
i found it while i was looking for a way to get a copy of this file ipodsecretvid.mov which was embedded into
this webpage Ipods Dirty Secret
Before anyone says it, I know there are lots of other ways of doing
this but i figured it would be something worth doing a quick google
for.
