Tada! I thought I'd make a pgn file downloader for "The Week In Chess", TWIC to fetch all the files 210 - 870.

Didn't see a download via that link but took a look at the website and came up with this.

for i in `seq 211 871`; do wget --wait=5 http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/zips/twic"$i"g.zip; done

Added the wait so it doesn't completely hammer the site.

Thanks Joshua for your reply.

... updated to weeks 210 - 871.

I checked the link. It worked for me.
Try these for the latest version:

http://www.mediafire.com/?4696snornd1al62 (.exe)
http://www.mediafire.com/?b050om7bvl3b10c (.zip)

What the program does is downloads them one-by-one, starting the next after the previous has finished. Then it checks file sizes and redownloads anything that doesn't match the correct bytes. Primitive, but I try to apply other ideas to chess when creating other programs...

... and if you want your download speeds 25% faster, just rename the program to Rybka.
