Technology:
Macs: Use the Spotlight Search, and type Terminal. These computers are packaged with a terminal interface.
Windows: Find the Command Prompt. For Win8+, go to Apps, then Windows System, then Command Prompt. You can also try searching for cmd in the Search Box. For earlier versions of Windows, you'll have to click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt.
On a Mac, in Terminal, type: man curl
On a PC, but you can add it by visiting the cURL website at http://curl.haxx.se/download.html but you'll have to choose the correct platform and processor. You can download it and add it to your C:/Windows directory, and curl should be executable from your command prompt.
http://brew.sh/
In your Terminal, enter:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Now type brew doctor and hit Enter
With the package installer added to Macs, we can add wget by typing brew install wget and pressing Enter.
For Windows PCs, you'll have to download and add wget.exe to your C:/Windows directory. Go to:
http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/
When you think you have wget added, type wget and press Enter. You should get a response that says wget: missing URL If you don't see that, let me know.
Enter wget -h to see the options for wget.
Enter mkdir wget-activehistory and press Enter. This should create a directory called wget-activehistory. To change to that directory, type cd wget-activehistroy and press Enter.
wget [options] [URL]
wget -r --no-parent -w 2 --limit-rate=20k http://activehistory.ca/papers/
Open a new Terminal or Command prompt. Create a directory called wget-internetarchive.
In your browswer, start with the Advanced Search
http://archive.org/advancedsearch.php
Enter new york clipper in the Query box, select identifier for the "Fields to return", and sort by identifier asc. Choose the CSV file format, and click Search. This should save a search.csv file to your computer, likely in your Downloads folder. Drag it into your wget-internetarchive folder.
Rename the search.csv file to identifier.txt and then open it with Notepad or TextEdit. You should see a list starting with "identifier". We want to erase all the quotation marks, and that first line. Then save the file. Make sure there isn't an empty line at the beginning after you erase "identifier". To erase the quotation marks, use ctrl-f and put the " in the search field. Then replace all with nothing.
In Terminal or Command Prompt, change to your wget-internetarchive directory. Now run wget with the following:
wget -r -H -nc -np -nH --cut-dirs=2 -A .pdf,.txt -e robots=off -l1 -i ./identifier.txt -B 'http://archive.org/download/'
