Mass story download

I know I'm new, so I hope it's alright for me to ask a question. Is there any way to download stories in bulk from fanfiction.net? Like an author's favorites list, or even the entire Harry Potter section. I know this is probably a bit of a long shot, but I just thought I'd ask, in case anyone has anything  that does what I'm looking for. Thanks to anyone who replies.

Let me check....

I've tried with this : http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1148818/LuvSam (that's me... and choose favorites)
Okay here's an author I like/love : http://www.fanfiction.net/u/409912/Luinlothana - choose fav.

--- Mmh Nope ... that's not cool
it's not a adapter problem it's a ff.net problem, because if you check, the URL it's the same...

Okay if you are using Firefox, I found something useful - I tested it, and it works :)
Here install Link Gopher (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-gopher/) once one the author's fav pages right click on the little icon in the bottom right corner of the main windows and choose "Extract Links by Filter".
I choose that filter : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/ and on Luinlothana's fav page I only got all the stories ... then copy, and past it into the Plugin under "Add New URLs" . Please don't use it for hundreds of stories at once, because first it will take a long time in calibre and second, it's a heavy load for ff.net site.

I usually choose 20 max...
If you need a visual help, tell me.


- I think it's not of use because [livejournal.com profile] mremre gave you the answer ....
