WARNING! File already exists! I WANT ALL OF THEM...
 

For a little pet project of mine I'm searching and downloading the file iTunes Music Playlist.xml and I need about 600 of these files. Problem is I can download 100's of them but Limewire doesn't automatically just give each file a name with a number after it. It asks me if I want to overwrite the last one or save as.

My fingers are getting tired of changing each file name by hand. Anyway to automate inside Limewire?

thanks,

dive into the source code.. seems like an easy mod to batch this process for your "project" .. you could even submit the patch mod to limewire. ;)

I agree but the last time I dived into source code I wrote a game for my Commodore VIC-20. Is there anyone out there familiar enough with Limewire to make this change for me?

After I posted here I tried the same thing with eMule and it happily downloads files with exact names but renames each file with a (1), (2), (3), etc.

Unfortunately the links tend to go cold soon after the search so it's not nearly as successfull an operation as my manual renaming operation with Limewire.

(sigh)
