This question already has an answer here:
I often need to download sets of links from a webpage and it's very inefficient having to click all the links one by one. For example, at the moment I want to download the lecture notes on this webpage. Is there some way I can batch download them? I am using Linux and Firefox in case that information is useful
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
This line of code will download each pdf from the page.
It's quick and dirty and could probably be optimized (especially since I'm using both curl and wget):
for file in $(curl https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-102-introduction-to-functional-analysis-spring-2009/lecture-notes/ | grep .pdf | cut -d'"' -f2); do wget https://ocw.mit.edu/$file; done
wget -A pdf -m -p -E -k -K -np https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-102-introduction-to-functional-analysis-spring-2009/lecture-notes/
