This shell script makes it possible to download an entire collection from archive.org. It was originally developed by @ghalfacree (https://github.com/ghalfacree/bash-scripts/blob/master/archivedownload.sh) but he marked it as obsolete, because in the meantime the organisation behind Internet Archive developed an own tool that allows downloading entire collections besides lot's of other things. So it's probably best to look at their repository at https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive.
However: collection downloading is all i need and i am not a big fan of python - i prefer a simple shell script instead. Therefore i adopted and improved the original script and moved it to my own repository.
usage: iadl.sh [OPTIONS] <collection> <destination-dir>
ARGUMENTS
<collection>

be entered exactly as shown. See the archive.org entry page for the
