Lotussphere Presentation Batch Download

Lotusphere 2008 online features 177 PDF files with the session presentations. You can download it in one go. You need:
1) A valid username / password for LS08 online (so it is for attendees only)
2) WGet to download http files in batch
3) This cmd file
4) replace your username / password in the cmd file.

The cmd file will only fetch the presentation files that don't exist already.
Enjoy!

Update: Get the MAC version of the script from Volker.
Update 2: The script now includes the ZIP files from the hands-on session.
Update 3: As of Jan 29 it seems that the PDFs have been removed from the download location the script is looking for them. Was the script too popular?

    Nice work. For your cmd file to work under unix, enter wget in lowercase and put a backslash before the dollar-file (\$file)

    This is what I did. I wrote an agent in Ben's Lotusphere 2008 database and created a html file with the file path of links of all sessions. Something like the below:

    { Link }

    Used firefox download 'em all extension and downloaded everything in one go.

    All the files are coming in as exactly 7,355 bytes. Any clue what I'm doing wrong? I put wget.exe and the cmd file you provided into the same directory, edited the cmd file with my credentials, then ran the cmd.

    I'm seeing the same thing. All the PDFs are under 8 Kb and say they're corrupt when I try to open them.

    I think Lotus changed the urls. The cmd file does not work anymore.

    It looks like zip files are coming. There is a link on the ls08.net homepage with the hands on zip file. But, look here and you can see more:
    { Link }

    Hi Stephan,

    I have created a download helper for the MP3 Podcasts of the sessions.

    Have a look at { Link } for the download and a description, how to use it.
