Does this work on arch/manjaro?

Yes, it is distribution-independent; just ensure that you have wget installed

@Gauley123 you can install wget on archlinux/manjaro with:

sudo pacman -Syu wget

It works, I use archlinux too.

Thanks, it's works great!

Excellent Script. Should be the #1 search result.
