Download various files with certain extensions from URL

Post by shawnblc » Sun Aug 30, 2015 6:32 pm

I'm looking to create a little application that would download all the files from the current page (web page). Several of the files are .pdf, .zip, .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, and some are .html pages. All are included in the href tag. I could select which folder on my local machine to store these. Not having much luck and can't seem to find an example. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
