From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i'm presuming that you've tried something like curl or wget wrapped in a for loop to iterate through each page to do this and that it didn't work somehow.
robots.txt would probably put a stop to that
i was asking op if they used a manual approach, which wouldn't be impacted by something like robots.txt
Haven't used curl or wget,have yet to start using command-line(outside of solving some linux issue or organizing family photos) but open to learning.
