copied!<p>Well, there are several approaches. You could look at the urls of the comic images themselves, to see if they follow a pattern, write a small script to generate urls that match the pattern, and simply use wget or something similar to download them. To learn the requisite python, I recommend the <a href="http://docs.python.org/tutorial/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">python tutorial</a>. Look specifically at ways of combining strings, string formatting, string operations, so you can build your URLs from component strings, numbers, and so forth. This sort of project may be a good excuse to learn python, which will probably help you with other things in the future. (and is FUN!)</p> <p>Alternatively, I imagine that people have done this before - there almost certainly are apps out there that do what you want, given the urls of the images, or just the pattern of urls. Have a look around. </p> <p>You could write to the author of the comic and ask if they are available in bulk somehow, possibly for purchase, maybe as a book. I imagine ctrl-alt-del is popular enough to simply absorb the added load of you downloading the entire archive, but smaller websites might not appreciate it - though I don't think they can really stop you or anything.</p> <p>As for your question, this site should help you with your programming questions, help you with problems you're having, nudge you along the way - but mostly people don't appreciate it if you ask them to just write your code for you. Learn some python, try it yourself, if you run into any problems, ask then.</p>
