sddhrthrt / indexcrawler Goto Github PK

I wrote a script to download entire folders from Apache's "Index of" listings.

It downloads the given file, or a listing. If it's a listing, it'll recursively go in and download all files in it.

It stores everything in $target_folder, in a directory structure similar to the URL. If URL is something.com/Films/2001/Movie.mkv, It'll be stored at $target_folder/Films/2001/Movie.mkv.

It also checks in target folder for every file before downloading it. If the file is there, it's not downloaded. So you can Ctrl-C any time and continue later, without worrying about downloading anything twice.

• Install axel. Else you'll have to write a replacement for axelFile. Just make sure you follow the same pattern.

• Download the file crawler.py.

It runs on python3. Sorry :P

• Run:

python3 crawler.py URL /target/folder

• tmp_folder is a folder preferably on your main hard disk, not on a USB drive. I noticed that downloading is significantly slower if OS has to write to a mounted folder.
