In questi giorni mi e\` capitato di dover scaricare varie collezioni da [archive.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive), una libreria digitale multimediale la cui missione e\` l&#8217;accesso universale a tutta la conoscenza.

Principalmente lo uso per scaricare tantissime registrazioni live di vari concerti registrati a mio avviso in maniera impeccabile.

Nel sito si trova una guida per scaricare in bulk usando wget e gli strumenti del sito, ma risulta piuttosto prolissa e complicata se si vuole fare un download al volo.

Questo e\` lo script che uso, modificato da [questo](https://github.com/ghalfacree/bash-scripts/blob/master/archivedownload.sh) script: e\` scritto in bash e funziona su tutte le distribuzioni sulle quali e\` installato wget, tail e sed.

<pre class="wp-code-highlight prettyprint linenums:1">#!/bin/bash

# Write here the extension of the file that you want to accept
#filetype =.flac
#append this to line 24
#-A .$filetype
#Write here the extension of the file that you want to reject, divided by a comma
fileremove = .null

if [ “$1” = “” ]; then
  echo USAGE: archivedownload.sh collectionname
  echo See Archive.org entry page for the collection name.
  echo Collection name must be entered exactly as shown: lower case, with hyphens.
  exit
fi
echo Downloading list of entries for collection name $1…
wget -nd -q “http://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=collection%3A$1&amp;fl%5B%5D=identifier&amp;sort%5B%5D=identifier+asc&amp;sort%5B%5D=&amp;sort%5B%5D=&amp;rows=9999&amp;page=1&amp;callback=callback&amp;save=yes&amp;output=csv” -O identifiers.txt
echo Processing entry list for wget parsing…
tail -n +2 identifiers.txt | sed ‘s/”//g’ &gt; processedidentifiers.txt
if [ “`cat processedidentifiers.txt | wc -l`” = “0” ]; then
  echo No identifiers found for collection $1. Check name and try again.
  rm processedidentifiers.txt identifiers.txt
  exit
fi
echo Beginning wget download of `cat processedidentifiers.txt | wc -l` identifiers…
wget -r -H -nc -np -nH -nd -e -R $fileremove robots=off -i processedidentifiers.txt -B ‘http://archive.org/download/’
rm identifiers.txt processedidentifiers.txt
echo Complete.
