Download and install the texts. Spider your
installation and extract
images references. Convert the filenames to those matching the pictures
at the WP site. Download the files of this list using 'wget'.
Or something like that could work.
Since our current process includes all these steps except the last, at which
point we link to the file, not get it, this is easily done.
Am I to gather that a reasonably well-behaved spider is preferred to linking
back to Wikipedia's site as we have been doing?
Can someone define for me what would be the off-peak hours in which such a
spider should run?
Finally, is there a place at Wikipedia (I know of several elsewhere) for
registering such spiders with descriptions and contact information, in case
someone observes the spider working and wonders, or in case there is some sort
of problem?
Thanks.
