The site is http://ratbike.org/a_rally.html
and there are heaps of cool bike pictures.
I want them all on my computer's hard drive, but I can't be arsed clicking on every damn text link and saving each picture on the pages. That would take days and days! There must be a thousand pics on the site in total and it's nowhere near as big as Kiwibiker.
Is there a freeware tool which can do this, or make the process easier?
Thanks!

Geek. Will you use that to organise all your star trek pictures too?

ooH, Star Trek pictures! You know me too well brother. I am watching Star Trek the animated series (or STTAS as trekkies prefer to call it) on youtube right now. Mmm, animated Yeoman Rand... mmmm...

Right click save as.

There are programmes out there, they are used to haxing websites, (i.e copying everything so you can make an identical one)

Have a look for wget - I think it's available for most systems.

even better http://www.httrack.com/ it'll rip the entire site

be careful to not let it get in a recursive loop, setting a maximum link depth will avoid that

WebZip does a good job... pretty and easy to use interface :)

Firefox has plugins available to do that. I have one installed at home that can follow links to the high res and download it.
