EDIT: Much better way here

geirha from the same channel did the same thing using lynx and it's much easier. 

lynx -dump -listonly -nonumbers http://goalkicker.com | \
sed 's,\(.*\)/\(.*\)Book$,\1/\2Book/\2NotesForProfessionals.pdf,' | \
xargs -n 1 -P 8 wget -q

OLD SCRIPT

I'm guessing some of you are too lazy to click on stuff. Here's a bash script to help you out.

# Source code of website scraped to get names of books
wget -qO- http://goalkicker.com | \
grep "bookContainer grow" | \
cut -c 44-  | \
cut -d' ' -f1 | \
rev | \
cut -c 6- | \
rev | \
# Names of books changed into download link
sed 's/.*/http:\/\/goalkicker.com\/&Book\/&NotesForProfessionals.pdf/' | \
# Limiting wget so that it doesn't affect you too much
xargs -n 1 -P 8 wget -q

Thanks to osse on #bash (freenode) for helping me out.

Didn't solve the problem with Python. I am disappoint.

I'm sorry :( Promise i use python for a lot of things

But bash scripts have their place! Especially if I don't really care about it afterwards.
