On Chrome, the extension that downloads all files on a webpage is called "Download
Master." I've downloaded all files on a page from the FSI site in less than a minute.

There is a Mozilla Firefox extension called something like "Down them all" which will
allow you to download all the files in one go, I'd look into that.


Thats the one I used, I managed to get all of them within about 1 hour.

I have very slow mobile connection, but I got all the following way.

For slow connections:

Because the PDF/MF3-files are too generous with their encodings making each file larger than necessary, an online converter can shrink the size to load (one-by-one).

- OPUS does best at 16 kbps to 24 kbps, 48000 Mhz, mono.
- DJVU also shrinks the size of PDFs.

A Google search will bring at least one service for each. Of course, if the hosters would convert all in a batch, it would be better, but they haven't managed to convert it to more efficient *.OGG Vorbis and *.M4A in the last five years, so *they* are not likely make it to *.OPUS anytime soon.

I've compared the quality and can't even complain at super-low 12 kbps (you play *.opus with any Firefox downloaded after Decembfp 2012---yes, the browser---VLC after December 2012, foobar2000 and any ROCKBOXed player since March 2013, you read djvu-files with Windjview).
