http://cd.textfiles.com/ has at least a couple clipart CDs in its
"shovelware" archive. Every single file up there for download.
Best to use wget -r -l0 --no-cookies http://site.url/directory/ to
get anything from that part of the site en masse, since
downloading everything item-by-item is incredibly tedious.


That looks like an excellent site for clipart.
But you lost me on this
wget -r -l0 --no-cookies http://site.url/directory/

I know you're saying to use this to get the whole collection, but
where do I type these commands? This looks like unix or dos
codes. I went to the site with firefox, is there someplace in FF
to enter these commands?


This is the command line for the 3rd-party utility WGET. It can
retrieve files from web sites without the use of a web browser. It's a
console program, no GUI.

The "advice" from Motofox is pretty useless without that important bit
of information.
