How to download a list of PDF files?

Hello

I have a site with many PDF files. I could right click and save each
file but I'm learning Ruby so I thought I'd try to write a script to do
that for me

http://jeepgarage.free.fr/OWN/ is the site

I found some code on

http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2468

and i tried modifying it to download the files on the site.

Any help would be good.

Easy solution:

wget -r -np http://jeepgarage.free.fr/OWN/

Ruby solution: have a look at Mechanize and/or scrubit.

And another easy solution would be the Firefox plugin: DownThemAll
