I'm interested in downloading all of the Curiosity rover photos. Is there some sort of automated way to do this?

$\begingroup$ @DeerHunter: This will probably produce tons of unrelated junk, especially that the actual images reside on a different path than the document root (but same host) you linked, and 4 clicks deep from it, so plain exclusion of parent directory won't suffice. I'm pretty good with wget but I'd have a problem thinking up a syntax that will get all raw images from the link provided and not grab videos, 3D images and such in the process. $\endgroup$– SF.Commented Feb 27, 2014 at 13:33

MSL IMAGE RETRIEVAL TOOLS
Links from the Curiosity Image Retrieval Tools Thread.
Please note that we do not guarantee any of the programs listed.
They are links provided by or programs/website developed by members.
Please use them at your caution.
- A shell script that allows you to download all images from a given sol
- Curiosity RAW Get
- Star Downloader
- Mars Ogler Check out the grid view in the menu options.
- DownloadThemAll plugin for Firefox
- Automatically updated RAW images online - link to external website
- A basic web interface listing images for a particular Sol - link to external website
- Web interface to the raw images - link to external website
I hope the original Questioneer is not still looking for the imagedata. But for people who are looking at the moment, I could give you another website to retrieve Nasa Mars Rover and more Raw Images:
https://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov
It is really difficult to find this tool with the help of google, but it is worthy.
The only small Issue, the website creates a shell script with wget
commands for every image selected. For the Data I downloaded once it took me 6 days in total because 40 GB of Images with a max size of 2 MB and downloading them step-by-step with single wget
s takes some time.
EDIT: The Website is correct but the actual tool is the image atlas which could be found on the left site.
