- Add « &maxRecords=500 », at the end of the URL : http://spirit.cnes.fr/resto/Landsat/?format=html&lang=en&q=LANDSAT8+july+2013&maxRecords=500, to raise the maximum number of image per page to 500
- Click right on « DownThemAll ».
Enter your download directory in « Save files in », and in « quick filtering », add *download. Select « discard other filters », Add « *name*.tgz » in the renaming mask, then click on start.
- All the files are downloaded.
