British Standards (Mega Collection - 14.5 GB)

Largest collection of British Standards till todate.

Thanks to original uploader.

any idea how to batch download the files? something popped up upon selecting some files but I doesn't read the language.

You can choose one document per time and click on the "CkYatb" with the arrow "download".
It works well for me.

the site is very friendly site and you can download whole folders by ticking empty square next to desired folder. in that way all folders can be downloaded at once. after ticking, click on button with arrow pointed downward.
hope this helps.

Or, you enter into one folder and select all documents you need same as email browser and then you press download.
Works for me too.

Regards

If you select many folders or files and get a pop-up in red color, that means the selected stuffs are larger than 4 GB and you have to reduce the number of selected items (pressing shift + left mouse click).

The largest folder is BS EN (6.59 GB), I have to enter the folder and download in selected small groups. For other folders, I could download by selecting folder(s).

To select a group of files, left click on box of the first file, browse down to a targeted last file (screen response is slow), shift + left mouse click on the box of the last file, all the boxes within the range should now be selected. Press download button, if a red-color pop-up appears, reduce the selected files by browsing back to a new last file and shift+left mouse click again. You should get a new and smaller selected files. Then press download button again.

In addition, you can open an account (and get 25 GB of space) and copy all 14.5 GB of files there. IMHO any kind of translator will be helpful. BTW, two folders are more than 4 GB, namely BS EN and BS EN ISO. Others can be downloaded at once.

Hello,

I've been struggling with this for more than 24h. (to make it work automatically)
I've tried several programming stuff (c# + webbrowser + webclient, c#+gekofx and a custom made chrome extension which failed miserably).
Finally I found a way in c# but it was ugly.

In the end I found JDownloader 2 Beta available here:

And you can use the first link, it will see all folders.
Sadly by default it works only for the first 500 files.

So spent another few hours decompiling the responsible plugin, attempting to install eclipse, jdk, ... to recompile the full application, without any luck.

Finally after trying all kind of constant string editors available around the web, for java compiled classes, dirty-joe saved the day .

If you're up for some hacking :

- install jdownloader 2 beta (warning it has 2 spywares simply decline the license agreement for those, the last 2 accept clicks).

- start dirty-joe, File->Open, look for CloudMailRuDecrypter.class, you'll find somewhere on your hdd, where JDownloader is installed. Like:
"C:\Users\ YourUserName \AppData\Local\JDownloader\jd\plugins\decrypter\CloudMailRuDecrypter.class"

- open it, go to Constant Pool, write 500 in active search textbox, click on:
0297: CONSTANT_Utf8: &sort=%7B%22type%22%3A%22name%22%2C%22order%22%3A%22asc%22%7D&offset=0&limit=500&api=2&build=

Click Edit item, replace 500 with let's say 10000, click Save, File->Save.

Thant's all. (24h vs. ~5min)

Or just replace it with the file already patched provided here:


In the end you should retrieve something like this:

Have fun

Not that I need the codes that I am about to mention but why aren't there any BS8110 and BS 5950 in the collection ?

These codes are in the collection. You can find in BS subdirectory.
