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

But consider using --limit-rate or -w to add a delay so as not to bomb the server.

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

http://www.drdobbs.com/ is still active though

Indeed, but it's not quite the same. Thanks for the reminder though -- every once in a while I remember to stop by, and there are always a few new interesting articles.

On Windows there's Flashget 1.73 http://www.flashget.com/en/download.html and Tools, Site Explorer dialog. It's much faster because it downloads multiple files simultaneously.

I found the quote on the first page of the first issue a little too relevant:

“The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts.” —Edmund Burke

I was disappointed I couldn't find DownThemAll for Chrome but a quick check on the store found an equivalent plugin called DownloadAll.
