Here's a perl one-liner for all you gkrellm fans out there:

curl 'http://www.muhri.net/gkrellm/nav.php3?node=gkrellmall&sort=name' | perl -ne 'print join"\n",m{href=(/gkrellm/.+?gz)}g' | perl -ne 'qx(wget http://www.muhri.net/$_); sleep 2'

This will download all the gkrellm2 themes at http://www.muhri.net/ . Enjoy.

PS: I intentionally didn't enclose the one-liner in a <code> block, because the line wrapping would've inserted "+"s into the string. This would've made it a pain to cut and paste into your shell.

    At least do both. As is there's no download link.

    Makeshifts last the longest.

    If you put it into a <code> block then a "Download Code" link will appear below your post. Clicking on the link displays the code without the "+"s and you can cut-and-paste from there. 
    curl 'http://www.muhri.net/gkrellm/nav.php3?node=gkrellmall&sort=name'
+ | perl -ne 'print join"\n",m{href=(/gkrellm/.+?gz)}g' | perl -ne 'qx
+(wget http://www.muhri.net/$_); sleep 2'

    curl, perl, and wget? You're a madman :-) Why not do it all with wget? wget -rl1 -A gz -nH -nd -w 2 'http://www.muhri.net/gkrellm/nav.php3?node=gkrellmall&sort=name' Hey, you know what would be cool? We've got find2perl, we should write wget2perl. That would be cool :-)

      That's cool I didn't know wget could be coerced to do that.
