Hi everyone, I am trying to download files from a particular directory on a
website. However this directory cannot be directly accessed like a FTP
directory (gives 403 forbidden error). Instead the only way to access these
files (PDFs) is through the roundabout fashion (clicking through these
links):

prefix.asite.com.au/a/b/c/[all-something, like a list]
prefix.asite.com.au/a/b/c/[a number]
asite.com.au/d/b/c/e/[name.pdf]

However there are many other links on the pages:
prefix.asite.com.au/a/b/c/[a number]
so it looks like it won't be easy.

I've tried some rules before, but they ended up downloading most/all of the
site on prefix.asite.com.au and asite.com.au, downloading way more content
than I actually need.

If this is not clear enough I can give you the site address for you to look at
yourself.

Thanks in advance,

Jason
