bbc-sound-effects-downloader

usage-instructions

• These instructions are intended for non-developers.
• This is a simple shell script to download all the wav file archive released freely by BBC, reachable in this address, http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/.
• This script uses wget to download the files.
• If you do not have it, open the Terminal application and run,

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

• The former command installs Home Brew package manager for OS X, https://brew.sh/

$ brew install wget

• This command installs wget to your computer.
• If you are a Linux user, I don't think you would need an explanation :).
• After you clone the repository or download the zip, place bbc-sound-archive-download.sh and urls-to-download.csv in the same folder, open the Terminal application you wish and run,

$ bash shell-script-path "download-path"

• Example,

$ bash ~/Downloads/bbc-sound-archive-download.sh "~/Desktop/my-download-folder/"

• Then press enter.
• The script will download all the archive which is around 305 GB, you can always stop the script whenever you want with ctrl+c and then resume by simply running the script with the same paths again.
• The script will tell you when the downloads are finished and how many files downloaded when the process finishes.
• The usage of these downloaded wav files is under the RemArc Licence.
