How do I batch download data from Physionet using Matlab?

I am trying to download all the records in the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. However, the ATM interface seems to only allow download of one record at a time. Is there any way to download all records in the database in batch? Thank you!

Also, at the risk of seeming aggressive, please don't comment on my question in a judgmental tone if you don't know the answer to it. If you know a little bit about this database, you'll know Matlab is the most used tool to analyse it. No one forces you to answer, and I have a right to ask.

You cannot expect all readers to know the "MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database". Ask the admins of the web-service how to cope with your impression that "ATM interface seems to only allow download of one record at a time" - maybe this assumption is not right.

There are many tools for an automated downloading. Why do you want to do this in Matlab?

Of course if you have a list of web pages you want to download you can use Matlab to download it in a batch by simply looping through all pages.

My comment was not meant to be judgmental. Our expertise is Matlab, so if you have a question about some specific database, you should provide all relevant information.

Sure, you can skip any information you think should be understood, but then you run the risk of getting no response, or requests for clarification. The way you phrased the question give no indication whatsoever about your proficiency in Matlab, so we can't tell if you need a link to the doc of websave, or if your problem needs a more complicated solution.

My comment does not have an impolite tone. In my opinion your question does not contain enough information to define clearly, what the problem is. If you post more details, the chances to get an answer will grow. A link to the service, an evidence for your assumption of the limitation to one download, a list of what you have tried so far. Most of all, the admins of the service will have the matching experiences, so asking this forum is not necessarily the most efficient idea.

We did not post answers yet, just comments, which are thought to assist you to solve the problem.
