Here's a pastebin [0] with all the PDF urls concatenated if you want to download them all.

Thanks for putting this together. Here is a way to grab them all with gnu tooling

curl https://pastebin.com/raw/H3KsMHW6 | sed s/\;/\\n/g | xargs wget --trust-server-names

or if you have parallel installed simply use

curl https://pastebin.com/raw/H3KsMHW6 | sed s/\;/\\n/g | parallel wget --trust-server-names

And Powershell script here:

[Edit]

In total everything comes in around 3.4GiB. I found this in /r/homelabs and they've got all the files up on their US and EU FTP servers. Details here:

Is that the same powershell script linked from the page (I can't access pastebin)? I'm getting the error "unexpected token 'in $books'". If I remove the for loop I get the error "The term 'Invoke-WebRequest $book -Method Head ' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet.

No it's different. It's from the top comment in the reddit post[0]. Seems like others in that thread have had the same issue with the one from the article. The issue seems to be the script doesn't create the directory for you[1] so you need to make it first.

However, I'm more of a Bash guy so please take my words/links with a grain of salt.
