Some very rudimental functions for downloading all mp3 & zip files from Project Gutenberg

File Information
Description	This package contains some very rudimental functions which will allow you to download all mp3 and zip files from the Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% EXAMPLE gutenberg_pages gutenberg_download_mp3 gutenberg_download_zip Downloading all the archive might take --> SEVERAL DAYS <-- After such a huge download --> HUNDREDS OF GYGABYTES <-- please keep one copy for you and give one to a friend, or a library, or a school, or a passer-by. CONTRIBUTE TO DISTRIBUTE. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This is a very rudimental way for downloading files from the Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org). If you know of a more elegant/efficient way to obtain the same result and you want to share I would greatly appreciate it. If you can show me how to do the same (or better) in a different programming language (C, Java, etc.), I will greatly appreciate it. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Please, ensure you are respecting the rules the web site requires for robots, in this case: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Information_About_Robot_Access_to_our_Pages and http://www.gutenberg.org/robots.txt Particularly ensure the bot makes a reasonable pause at each loop so that it doesn't affect other users' possibility to access the web site. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% IMPORTANT. Please, remember that gutenberg dvds can be downloaded for free from: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:The_CD_and_DVD_Project The dvds do not contain the mp3 files %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% You can get an offline version of the project gutenber web site: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Feeds %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% You can get the project gutenberg catalog data: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Feeds %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% In order to generate a final catalog, after the download, function mmfileinfo is used: be aware that this works only on Windows machines.
