Many links and numbered series

Add a list of links

1. Press ⌘N, or click +, to open the Add sheet.

2. Paste your links, one per line. Ladle lists every file it finds, with its size and where it will be saved. Each file goes to the folder for its type.

3. Uncheck anything you don’t want.

4. Choose Start: Now or Tonight, 1:00 AM, then click the button to add them.

Numbered series

When files are numbered, type the link once and put the range in square brackets. Ladle expands it to every number in between:

You type	Ladle adds
https://example.com/podcast/ep-[01-12].mp3	ep-01.mp3, ep-02.mp3 … ep-12.mp3
https://example.com/scans/img[1-20].jpg	img1.jpg, img2.jpg … img20.jpg
https://example.com/show/ep-[140-150].mp3	ep-140.mp3 … ep-150.mp3

Zero padding is kept: [01-12] gives 01, 02 and so on, while [1-12] gives 1, 2.

Already downloaded

If a link in your list has been downloaded before, Ladle still shows it, marked Already downloaded and unchecked, so you don’t fetch it twice by accident. Check it if you do want a fresh copy.

Every link on a web page

With the browser extension on, right-click a page and choose Download All Links with Ladle…. The Add sheet opens listing the page’s file links, all checked, so you can uncheck any you don’t want before adding them. See Set up your browser.

Tip

Have a checksum? Put it on the same line after the link, separated by a space, and Ladle checks the file when it’s done. See Checksums for the format.
