Access Downloadable Content From Free Sites

Here's how I see it for now, but if there's an easier, more automated way to do this, I'd rather do that. We would like to get all the links for the actual download .exe files and image files from a large portal site. No copyright violations are being broken. We are just accessing free content that is easily available at this site. We have a spreadsheet of most all of the files links and images. If we get a download of the actual files and images, that would be ideal, but we can settle for just the urls to the actual downloads themselves. Each download has its own popup window and the javascript popup window has the download link within it's code. If you can download the file, great. But if you can only get the url, that's fine too. And then the url has to be tested to make sure that the decoded url actually downloads the file. A complete download isn't necessary, but at least the start of the download to make sure it's a live link. The url has to be pasted into the appropriate cell on the spreadsheet and then on to the next one. Now if there's a less complicated, faster way to do this task, I'm all ears. But it is an easy task, just time consuming. If we can do an automated way to do this and keep scanning the site for new content, that would be ideal. If we could get it to scan other sites, too, that would be wonderful! Or at least alert us to new content ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
