Bash Script to Download MIT OCW Videos

Some months back in November, I had used many variants of the following script to automate the download of MIT OCW videos:

#!/bin/bash
baseurl="http://www.archive.org/download/MIT_Structure_of_Computer_Programs_1986/lec"
urlend="b_512kb.mp4"
log="log_b"
for i in {1..7}
do
nohup wget -c "${baseurl}$i${urlend}" > "${log}$i" &
done

It doesn’t really do much, just put the baseurl and urlend properly which should be common for similar links and run a for loop.

Sharing so that it may come handy to some others in similar needs. :)
