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?

JYR

Gravatar Image7 - 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.

Gravatar Image8 - Great Work Stephan. has saved me loads of time!!Emoticon

Gravatar Image9 - 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.

Gravatar Image10 - Thanks! Makes it much easier!

Gravatar Image11 - Nice one!

Gravatar Image12 - YEAH!!!Emoticon

Gravatar Image13 - I'm seeing the same thing. All the PDFs are under 8 Kb and say they're corrupt when I try to open them.

Gravatar Image14 - I think Lotus changed the urls. The cmd file does not work anymore.

Gravatar Image15 - 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 }

(LS online username/password required)

Gravatar Image16 - 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.
