I hope I don’t step on any toes here.

 

I need to download a large number of pages from a website after I have navigated past login and a couple of sub pages. The downloaders I am seeing can’t handle the login part of things.

 

1.I have full legal access to the site. No limitations.

2.No It’s not I AM A SPAMMER.

3.No it’s not movies.

 

 

It’s manuals. I am taking a trip where I will at best, have slow internet but I need to access the latest manuals and tips. Any suggestions ?

Maybe try Wget. It has a very complicated set of configuration options (took me an entire day to sort through them), which I think includes login capabilities. The config file has provisions for http and ftp passwords.

 

Wget described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget

Follow the link at the bottom of that page to Christopher Lewis's website to get the Wget version that I use in Windows XP.

 

A comparable program may be cURL, but I don't know anything about that one.
