I wrote a shell script that allows you to download all images from a given sol.:

There are two rm commands in the script to clean up the tempdir. If you're afraid my script screws up your system replace them with rm -i commands. If you want any features added please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

EDIT1:

Added leading zeros in the directory names for easy sorting after a request for it on IRC.

EDIT2:

I see a lot of people downloading the script. To be clear: This is a script for *NIX systems and won't run on a standard Windows box. To get it running under Windows you need to install a *NIX environment like Cygwin. Your other option would be to install something like Ubuntu in VirtualBox.

EDIT3:

As RoverDriver pointed out you need to have wget on your system to use this script. The script now handles this gracefully.

Noticed a little bug on the JPL raw images web site--for full frame MAHLI images they show a thumbnail with a link to the full frame image, but it turns out the thumbnail IMG SRC is actually the full frame image. The html code sets the thumbnail width to 160 so it looks like a thumbnail, but it's a waste of bandwidth as all the full frame MAHLI images for a given sol will be downloaded when just looking at the thumbnail page.

Here's an example (MAHLI images with 'E' in the 17th character of the filename are full-frame, 'I' for thumbnail):

<td valign="top" align="center" width="200"><div style="margin:10px;"><a href="./?rawid=0001MH0000001000E1_DXXX&s=1"><img src="http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/msss/00001/mhli/0001MH0000001000E1_DXXX.jpg" alt="Image taken by Mars Hand Lens Imager" width="160" border="0"></a><br><div class="RawImageCaption">Mars Hand Lens Imager<br>full<br><nobr><div class="RawImageUTC">2012-08-07 04:46:02&nbsp;UTC</div></nobr></div></div></td>

That sounds like a useful bug report, but I have no idea who's in charge of the website. I'll ask around. Maybe Doug knows?
