I Want To Download Many Files Of Same File Extension With Either Wget Or Python,

[eddywinch82]

I think that I may have cracked it ! More than two types of Airbus Aircraft .zip Files have downloaded so far, when i run the module. Hopefully all of the .zip Files will download. Here is the amended Python Code :-

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests, wget, re, zipfile, io


def get_zips(link_root, zips_suffix):
    # 'http://web.archive.org/web/20050315112710/http://www.projectai.com:80/libraries/repaints.php?ac=89&cat=6'
    zips_page =  link_root + zips_suffix
    # print zips_page
    zips_source = requests.get(zips_page).text
    zip_soup = BeautifulSoup(zips_source, "html.parser")
    for zip_file in zip_soup.select("a[href*=download.php?fileid=]"):
        zip_url = link_root + zip_file['href']
        print('downloading', zip_file.text, '...',)
        r = requests.get(zip_url)
        with open(zip_file.text, 'wb') as zipFile:
            zipFile.write(r.content)


def download_links(root, cat):
    url = ''.join([root, cat])
    source_code = requests.get(url)
    plain_text = source_code.text
    soup = BeautifulSoup(plain_text, "html.parser")
    td = soup.find_all('td', class_="text", colspan="2", bgcolour="#FFFF99", href="download.php?fileid=")
    for h in td:
         h.a.get('href')

    for zips_suffix in soup.select("a[href*=repaints.php?ac=]"):
        get_zips(root, zips_suffix['href'])


link_root = 'http://web.archive.org/web/20041225023002/http://www.projectai.com:80/libraries/'

# Example category, need to read all categories from first page into a list and iterate categories
category = 'acfiles.php?cat=6'
download_links(link_root, category)

Many thanks for your very useful hints, snippsat

Sorry snippsat, I have just noticed, that I have put the latest code in the wrong Thread, could you transfer it to the latest thread, I posted for me ? Eddie
