How would you mass download files from a web page and also rename them using the href name(description) they have?
The idea is that files downloaded have descriptive names, unlike the original file names which are anything but that.
For example, given that a web page contains the following link
<a href='http://www.example.com/docs/ex160.pdf'>Advanced Foo Bar</a>
Ideally, I would like to save it as "Advanced Foo Bar.pdf", but even "Advanced Foo Bar" would be fine, as I can use a Bulk renaming utility to add pdf extension to hundred or so files I have to download.
I have been using FlashGotAll extension for Firefox to download, and it works splendidly for bulk downloading, except there is no renaming function built in.
I can also fire up Linux(or use cygwin) and use curl or wget, if need be for this solution.
