If you want to download all the PDFs to your current working directory:
wget -rH -nd -Dubm-us.net -Apdf http://gdcvault.com/gdmag
Edit: for the curious, the flags are:
-r recursively retrieve all the links on the page
-H span hosts (default would stay with gdcvault.com only)
-nd don't replicate directory hierarchy, just download the files to cwd
-D only download from ubm-us.net
-A pdf extensions only
- jason_slack 13y agoI was just working on this: wget -r -A.pdf http://twvideo01.ubm-us.net/o1/vault/GD_Mag_Archives/ http://twvideo01.ubm-us.net/o1/vault/GD_Mag_Archives/ but getting a 403 (forbidden). Now I see I should have tried http://gdcvault.com/gdmag http://gdcvault.com/gdmag instead of copying the link from right clicking and saying "Save As" You do have a few more flags than I do. I should look those up. Edit: Thanks for expanding your post to explain all the flags. Very helpful.

- jamesbritt 13y agoBut consider using --limit-rate <some rate> or -w <some number of seconds> to add a delay so as not to bomb the server.

- cool100 13y agoOn Windows there's Flashget 1.73 http://www.flashget.com/en/download.html http://www.flashget.com/en/download.html and Tools, Site Explorer dialog. It's much faster because it downloads multiple files simultaneously.
- blinkingled 13y agoDownThemAll works with Firefox cross platform. Right Click on the page and dta OneClick. Fast Filter .pdf, .zip covers all downloads.
- froo 13y agoI was disappointed I couldn't find DownThemAll for Chrome but a quick check on the store found an equivalent plugin called DownloadAll.
- archagon 13y agoHow big is the complete archive?
- kawsper 13y ago3.34 Gb according to the torrent.
- reginaldjcooper 13y agoSafe downloading, everyone; remember to first check the ToS and don't change your user-agent for any reason.
- candydance 13y agoConsider grabbing the torrent[0] instead so as not to peg the gdcvault server. [0]: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8940823/Game_Developer_Magazine_Complete_1994-2013_Archives http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8940823/Game_Developer_Magazi...

- chris_wot 13y agoWhy is this account still active?
- NKCSS 13y agoOnce the download is done, you might want to do: mv GDM_February_.pdf GDM_February_2010.pdf to make sure the nameing is consistent :)
- Tomis02 13y agoA cross-platform solution would be using Opera 12's sidebar, going to links, selecting all 'view' links and downloading all at once. Or use Opera to download the torrent.
- ANTSANTS 13y agoIs Opera really more cross-platform than wget?
- Tomis02 13y agoIn my opinion it's easier to put Opera (12) on Windows than wget; also, it doubles as a torrent client. Older Opera versions (that still have this feature) had versions for a large number of OS-es.
- clarry 13y agoWget has already been ported to Windows, and because it's free software, you can try port it to any other OS. Opera, on the other hand, hasn't been ported to nearly as many OSen, and you don't get the source to help with the effort (plus it's much larger than a CLI file downloading utility). Your idea of cross-platform is weird.
- atilimcetin 13y agoAlso here is the list of all pdfs: https://gist.github.com/schnabear/6657115/raw/9b8a2527cfeca631c5779de0c2e8582bf8a5514d/GDMAG https://gist.github.com/schnabear/6657115/raw/9b8a2527cfeca6... You can save this list to a file (e.g. GDMAG.txt) and run wget -c -i GDMAG.txt
- jamesbritt 13y agoBTW, there are also zip files with code and stuff: wget -c -w5 -rH -nd -Dubm-us.net -Azip http://gdcvault.com/gdmag to get those
