The loop can be replaced with bash's brace expansion (http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Brace-E...), e.g.

    wget http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0{01..19}.zip

I'm happy to mirror if anyone actually has the files.... I have tons of bw on a ton of big servers. devon@sparkred.com

I thought of doing it, and I can't get to the webpage to see if there's a special license... barring one, redistributing would be copyright infringement which I'm not cool with. The HM folks would have to offer.

Indeed. Sorry, my offer was intended to the folks who are actually making the offer, who have the steaming server:)

Wow, never knew about that. Due to zero-padding, I found I actually needed two commands for this to work properly:

    http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0{10..19}.zip

I could make a torrent but it is not mine to make it, I think HM owners should do this if they feel like it. I don't want to abuse their good will.

On a mac (without wget) paste this into the terminal and it'll open up every download in a tab in your default web browser. open http://hackermonthly.com/hackermonthly-startupstories.zip; open http://hackermonthly.com/hackermonthly-thedebate.zip; open http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue019.zip; open http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue018.zip; open http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthl…

Or you could just not be a dick and download one issue at time or just the issues that interest you to save some bandwidth for the rest of us.

By all means, copy paste one at a time.

Maybe there's a way to put the archive in a file locker (like Megaupload) and delete it after 24 hours.. It's pointless to make the files free if /everybody/ tries to download them but /nobody/ actually gets to read the zine because the files time out..

Megaupload is terrible. Please encourage people to use Mediafire.
