Download the Kleptones 24 Hours using Ruby | March 28, 2006-->

March 28, 2006

Go get http://www.kleptones.com/pages/downloads_24h.html!
Due to the lack of working torrent files i wrote a nifty little ruby script to fetch all the mp3 files (works on OSX and RedHat, your mileage may vary).

Just type "ruby download_kleptones.rb" and all the mp3 files are being downloaded into a "Kleptones_24hours" directory.

See the kleptones blog for more information.

download_kleptones.rb:

# == Synopsis

#

require 'rubygems'
require 'rio'
require 'cgi'

path = 'http://www.kleptones.com/pages/'
mp3_dir = "./Kleptones_24hours"


content = ""
# Fetch the HTML page
rio(path + 'downloads_24h.html') > content

# mkdir
Dir.mkdir(mp3_dir) unless File.directory?(mp3_dir)

# get all links
content.scan(/<a[^>]*href="([^"]+)"[^>]*>/) do |link|
  # skip links
  next unless link.to_s =~ /24h\//
  filename = link.to_s.split("/").last
  print "fetching " + CGI::unescape(filename) + "\n"
  rio(URI(path + link.to_s)) > rio(mp3_dir + "/" + filename)
end
