easy downloading while surfing (no right click,"Save as...") ?

Vincent M

Hi,

when surfing on the net, I often want to save data (PDFs, pics,
programs...), and I am looking for an alternative to clicking on the
right mouse button, then "save as...", choose directory

I want to be able to selectively download, I don t want to download
whole sites...

Any suggestion ?

Many thanks
Vincent

I have humor/fyi email list where I send jpg, gif,,,, things I find on
the net. If I see something I'll click up a terminal and use import.

import where/2/store/fn_here.type

Example:
import ehumor/jpg/cat.jpg

Then press button, drag mouse, release button and selection will be
stored in $HOME/ehumor/jpg/cat.jpg

If I change cat.jpg to cat.gif, format will be .gif.
This will not work for pdfs.

cron job pulls all files and emails them to everyone on the list.

How about kget. Just drag the links to the system tray icon.
