To download all its contents with all the files and subfolders and their files. Now, what should I do if I want to repeat this process again, a month later, and I don't want to download everything again, only add new/changed files? I need to download all of the contents within each folder and subfolder. I have tried several methods using Wget, and when i check the completion, all I can see in the folders are an 'index' file. I can click on the index file, and it will take me to the files, but i need the actual files.
This evening I came across a Google Search result for Game of Thrones Audiobooks and my immediate question was how can I download all these .mp3
files at once to my computer. As going through each of those directory and clicking on those files to download was, well a bit too boring and time consuming.
So I gave a thought to it and tried to play with the very famous shell command wget
and that’s it! After few trials it gave me what I needed.

: don’t remove ‘.listing’ files
--convert-links
