If you want to download all the PDFs to your current working directory:

    wget -rH -nd -Dubm-us.net -Apdf http://gdcvault.com/gdmag
Edit: for the curious, the flags are:

    -r recursively retrieve all the links on the page
    -H span hosts (default would stay with gdcvault.com only)
    -nd don't replicate directory hierarchy, just download the files to cwd
    -D only download from ubm-us.net
    -A pdf extensions only

I was just working on this: wget -r -A.pdf http://twvideo01.ubm-us.net/o1/vault/GD_Mag_Archives/

but getting a 403 (forbidden). Now I see I should have tried http://gdcvault.com/gdmag instead of copying the link from right clicking and saying "Save As"

You do have a few more flags than I do. I should look those up.

Edit: Thanks for expanding your post to explain all the flags. Very helpful.

First was Dr. Dobbs Journal and now GDM. My favourites magazines are all dead now :(

They're not dead though. Gd, at least, has been set free and given perpetual life rather than locked away by its temporary owner. Temporary if you still believe the "limited time" clause has any legal weight.
