A script to download wallpapers from wallpaperswide.com

Going through wallpapers websites like http://www.wallpaperswide.com/ and ever wondered how cool would it be if you have a magic wand with which you could download all the wallpapers without having to manually download the ten images in all of the 2500-odd pages?

Dependencies

1. This script is written in Ruby. Most Linux distros ship a basic version of this scripting language. If not, install it along with rubygems using the following commands.
2. This script needs wget utility to download. wget is shipped with almost all linux distros. If not, install it using your distro's package manager.

# If you don't use a Debian-based distro like Ubuntu or Linux Mint, replace 'apt-get' with your distro's package manager

# Install 'ruby' and 'rubygems' if not already installed
sudo apt-get install ruby rubygems

# Install 'wget' if not installed
sudo apt-get install wget

# Install 'nokogiri' gem
gem install --no-r{doc,i} nokogiri

1. Save the following ruby code into a file named wallpaperswide_dot_com.rb
2. Choose the resolution of the wallpapers you want to download. The list of resolutions supported are given in the beginning of the script. Tweak Resolution variable accordingly.
3. Adjust the Output_Directory variable.
4. Run the script by ruby wallpaperswide_dot_com.rb
5. It'll be a 2+GB download depending on the resolution. If you desire to limit your download speed to say 100kbps, you could add an additional argument to the wget command (the third line from the end) like wget -c --limit-rate=100k -U "Firefox/4.5.6" ...;
