Macs have curl, which can easily fill in for wget.

curl -O "http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0[01-19].zip"

and for auto resume when it disconnects in the middle.

  curl -C - -O "http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0[01-19].zip"

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-issue00{1..9}.zip http://hackermonthly.com/xmas/hackermonthly-issue0{10..19}.zip

Bash is smart: $ echo {01..20} 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 $ echo {1..20} 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Bash 4 is smart. Bash 3 isn't.

He put some of them up on aws, probably more on the way. I was able to download 1,4,5,7,10,13, and 18. Just replace the "004" at the end with "001", or "010", etc. http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo... Or in terminal just enter: wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo... wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/bearwithclaws.baconfile.com/hackermo...

Using "{0..1}{0..9}" instead of bash 4's zero-padding brace expansion.

He posted a snap of his server logs: http://lockerz.com/s/167554725 Ouch.

I think the takeaway here is that if you're going to promote something on HN, put your downloadable content on AWS or some similar CDN first. When there are nerds involved, expect heavy turnout. Yowza.

Also, we're cheap. Really hope this works out in his favor and nets a few more signups. I'm interested to see the quality myself, as I've managed to hold off viewing or sampling any of these to date.

Here's a Python script I threw together to automate this: https://gist.github.com/1515666 At this point, it looks like 1, 4, 5, 7, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 have been put up on S3.

You can use %03d instead of %s and the number will be zero padded to 3 digits.

also, range(1,20) rather than needing i+1 throughout your code
