The problem I had with my first attempt was that there was no delay,
so I was only downloading the last entry on the page. The linked
solution above pointed to the problem (each subsequent request was
killing the preceding request) which was including a delay. Here
I used 1.5 seconds, which should probably be bumped up just a little
bit since it missed a few entries.
Make sure your browser handles *.gz files by downloading them without
any prompt.
