downloads interview questions
Top downloads frequently asked interview questions
I need to download an FTP site (a web site source code actually) containing a very high quantity of relatively small files (downloading it with FileZilla took more than a day, but I believe it could be downloaded much faster if many files were downloaded at once). Unfortunately there is no SSH access to the site and no way to archive the files on the server side.
So at least the question is how to download a whole FTP site into a folder using command line tools. A better it'd be if the download could be parallelized by downloading many files simultaneously instead of one by one.

I use wget as a downloader. It is an excellent, outstanding application. I integrated it with Firefox using Flashgot.
How can I resume a download which was stopped by a CTRL+C key press or a shutdown in this configuration of wget?

"Downloader for X" looks, heh, not fitting well into Ubuntu theme and not very natural/convenient. At the same time I don't know of any good alternative. Maybe you know?

I click install, and the normal dialog show up informing me that Hotline Miami is downloading, but it never starts to download. It allows me to try running the game, and complains about a missing executable.

I use youtube-dl to download files from YouTube. I have tried downloading multiple files, but it is not working out for me. I have to open multiple terminals and start afresh every time I want to download a video.
Can you help me to download multiple files with a single terminal window by just mentioning all the URLs at once? I use Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.

I'm looking for a web spider for Ubuntu like this one Webripper - Calluna Software. You can download a whole site like you can with
wget -r -m example.com
but the feature I'm looking for is you can input a search term like "Linux" and it searches the Web and downloads them.
Are there any programs on Ubuntu like this?

How to download a youtube video via terminal
There are several Q&A threads that explain how to download youtube videos using the terminal.
However, I would also like to learn how to extract the video's soundtracks as MP3 files--also using only the terminal.
Answers briefly explaining how to use youtube-dl or other similar utilities before explaining how to extract the MP3 would be ideal for the sake of having all the information in one place--even though this aspect has been covered in other posts.

When I install "Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts" (ttf-mscorefonts-installer) from the Software Center on 14.04, it gives a positive response--but after this I get a download error. It seems that the files actually providing the fonts are never retrieved. Is there any way to resolve this?

Both of these curl and wget are use for downloading files, etc. Is there any reason to use one over the other?

This is a little off topic, but I hope you guys will help me. I've found a website full of articles I need, but those are mixed with a lot of useless files (mainly jpgs).
I would like to know if there is a way to find (not download) all PDFs on the server to make a list of links. Basically I would simply like to filter out everything that's not a PDF, in order to get a better view on what to download and what not.
