How to download project gurhenberg files in a single click

[qpod25]

Hi,
Is it possible to get all project gurhenberg books in a single click formally and not using robots.
I downloaded dual layer DVD ISO 7.48 GB file, but all of its ebooks are in txt format.
And the folders and files have numbers but not names.
For example, this English novel The war of the worlds by HG Wells, have no name but number 9,Which is frustrating.
We were also expecting its ebooks to be in epub or mobi format.
On project gurhenberg site there are instructions to install wget and then write a command to get files in epub files,but if anyone install wget on Windows 7,it just disappears.
Best regards.

What do you mean by "install" wget ?

View attachment wget.zip

 

[qpod25]

wget is on project guthenberg site.
Size 4.2 mb.

Doesn't need to be installed. It runs as an executable.

you can use the one I posted in the zip file.

thanks.
how to apply this commands in wget

wget -w 2 -m All Files (offset: 0) - Project Gutenberg[]=epub.image&langs[]=en

best regards.

unzip it onto your drive, so you have C:\wget folder

Then ( assuming what you posted is correct) the command is:

c:\wget\wget.exe -w 2 -m All Files (offset: 0) - Project Gutenberg[]=epub&langs[]=en

i can't help you any more than that. I have used wget, but I know nothing about Gutenberg.

I have just tried it and got this:

C:\Users\SIW2>c:\wget\wget.exe -w 2 -m All Files (offset: 0) - Project Gutenberg
[]=epub&langs[]=en
--2019-07-22 06:41:25--  http://all/
Resolving all... failed: Unknown host.
wget: unable to resolve host address `all'
--2019-07-22 06:41:29--  http://files/
Resolving files... failed: Unknown host.

that shows wget is working fine, but you obviously need the correct address in the command.

According to the site, file types are:

epub.images
epub.noimages

There isn't a filetype just called epub

Gutenberg:Information About Robot Access to our Pages - Gutenberg

i wished pdf but they dont post pdf files.
so epub and mobi are the only choice for people to download.
i prefer epub with images.

they say rsync is better than wget

We recommend that you use rsync. The wget and cURL tools are not suitable, because they need to look at all files just to get the ones that were updated recently. Rsync is available for all Unix-like systems (including MacOS), and is part of Cygwin for Windows.

We offer two distinct rsync modules:

the "main" collection, which consist of our manually curated HTML and plain text files, their zip archives and audio files and
the automatically generated content, including EPUB and MOBI (a.k.a., Kindle) files, generated HTML, and more automatically generated files.
The main collection changes daily, as new items are added or updated. The generated content may be regenerated in big batches, causing rsync traffic spikes.

How exciting.

lets discuss rsync.

there was no wget folder on c drive, so i created it myself and put wget in it.
opened command prompt as administrator.default directory was c:\windows\system32>
then changed directory to wget and run the following command
c:\wget\wget.exe -w 2 -m All Files (offset: 0) - Project Gutenberg[]=epub&langs[]=en
it gave me this error,
WGet.exe System Error
The program cant start because LIBEAY32.dll is missing from your computer.Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
Now I am Researching what to do about it.
Best Regards.

some facts about LIBEAY32.dll error
Some libeay32.dll errors could be related to a virus or other malware infection on your computer that has damaged the DLL file. It's even possible that the libeay32.dll error you're seeing is related to a hostile program that's masquerading as the file.

 

[qpod25]

trying to run wget first gave libeay32.dll error, downloaded it and copied to system32 folder,then
trying to run wget gave ssleay32.dll error, downloaded it and copied to system32 folder,
then
trying to run wget gave vsinit.dll error, downloaded it and copied to system32 folder,then
it gave this error
the ordinal113 could not be located in the dynamic link library
SSLEASY32.dll
seems this is going to go on and on.

You need to extract the contents of the zip folder I posted into the c:\wget folder. It contains all the necessary files.

Is this a wind up?

[qpod25]

extracting zipped wget file does not produce a folder wget in c drive.the above picture explains it.
the dll and txt files are there spread out.
lastly
how to run this command
c:\wget\wget.exe -w 2 -m All Files (offset: 0) - Project Gutenberg[]=epub&langs[]=en
Thanks.

Nobody here knows anything about project gutenberg.

You had better ask at the Gutenberg website.

Lets discuss wget and ignore project Gutenberg site
For the moment.
How to run wget command,
Especially since wget is not running.
