SimpleView - A simple and easy to use slideshow viewer
I got curious after reading this hint and tried
wget -r http://tartarus.uwa.edu.au/~trs80/Terascale/ to see the pictures for myself, but I get wget: Command not found. What am I missing?---

Me too...however I did have a linux box which did have wget installed and I used that..
I also note that the URL link is broken.
Cheers,

I wish the URL was broken when I blindly pasted this in Terminal! On a slow dial-up, I did not realize this was going to be a rather large and painful download. There doesn't seem to be a switch to turn off whatever wget is getting! I am now stuck with this downloading incessantly. Do I have to delete wget to stop this? Sheesh.
Oh to have high speed!

Control-C is cancel in the UNIX world. Also, Apple mapped "esc" to Control-C.

The problem I found with wget is that once the command was executed, it carried forth on its own, downloading the site without interference in the background. Ctrl-C was attempted to no avail. Re-booting seemed to stop this, but it started up after a few minutes of going back online. Not having a utility to shut down the port it was using, I shut down again. That stopped it - finally.

You're missing
wget. You could install it through a package manager like fink, or you could use curl instead. I'm not sure what the equivilent curl command would look like - perhaps someone else can interject at this point?
Deep Vacuum
There's also a great little freeware app from HexCat called Deep Vacuum. It's basically an OS X GUI wrapper around wget. You can download it from http://www.hexcat.com/deepvacuum/index.htm.

Mac OS X doesn't come with wget, however it has curl. Right now the images are offline so I can't check the exact names. If the pictures are numbered, say: picture1.jpg, picture2.jpg, etc. to say picture30.jpg You can use: |
