downloading from a list
I am dealing with a web site that contains a lot of files that are named in sequence. Would it be best to use java to make an algorithm to download them or is there some software that already does the job? For an example, the site might be built like this:
http://www.asite.com/file01.txt
http://www.asite.com/file02.txt
so on and so forth.
If I should use java, how would I code that?

Really what I want to do is copy a jpeg directly from a web adress to a location locally. I'd do it by hand if there weren't several hundred jpegs to type in and click on. I'm trying to find answers within the forums, but they aren't quite what I am looking for.
If you only need to do that once, you may well find the "by hand" version to be faster than writing and running the program. In fact you could already have done it in the time spent waiting for answers here.So if this is something you are going to do regularly, then let us know.
While other people spend 100 days solving a problem, programmers spend 99 days writing a program that can solve the problem in just one day.
By the way, when I went to college there was this program specially designed for downloading pictures from the internet. It could go on the whole weekend, and Monday morning the disc (at the datalab PC) was filled with ... well ... pictures. I dont know the programs name though... 朅nd the most eager users didnt even finish college.
