Use wget to download from hotfile – automated!

To automatically download from Hotfile using Wget you can do the following:


wget --save-cookies /path/to/hotfilecookie --post-data "returnto=%2F&user=1234567&pass=yourpass&=Login" -O - http://www.hotfile.com/login.php > /dev/null


This will save your login to a cookie on your server and then we can do:


wget -c --load-cookies /path/to/hotfilecookie -i /path/to/inputfile -o /path/to/downloadlog -nc -b


This will set wget running in the background logging its progress to a download log. It will skip downloading any files that already exist, and it will read all the files to download from a file called inputfile. I hope this helps someone 🙂
