Hey guys,

I have a login for a blackboard-type site that I use for my CA studies, I'd like to take a copy of the whole module so that I have the notes for the future. And I really can't be assed clicking like 100 files and click download.

I have had a bit of a google around, and found pay programs that look pretty crap. I have also tried Spider Download add-on for IE, and it's a stand alone program.

Is there a add-on out there, that I can right click a link and say "save all pdf/word/excel"

Ermm I just checked out PageNest, doesn't really seem to be doing what I want, I don't want to spend 20 min working out how to use it....I could get the files in half that time.
tried to download, got looped for some reason, tried the option to stop looping and still didn't get the files i wanted, I told it to grab everything and I got like....4 files.

The Scrapbook Firefox plugin is what you're after.

Best plugin ever created. I've been using it for over a year to insta-save 100% accurate snapshots of lecture notes, general webpages, tutorials and massive image threads.

If you want to know the best way to use it, just post here or drop me a message.

You can do fancy things like save only certain types of files, export a directory with the full contents of the webpage + index.html so that your saved webpage is no longer linked to Firefox, import and export between different firefox installs, etc.
