   would you like to have a complete set of all ansi packages in your pc? 
   if you don't, you just finished reading this :) all the others 
   continue... 

   the simple way is to use the old sixteencolors github account to get 
   the packs. with a simple command like: 

       git clone https://github.com/sixteencolors/sixteencolors-archive 

   we are done... :?  because of the size it will get you some time to 
   download all packages. so lets break the task in smaller ones. lets 
   download the packages by year, as listed in the repo. to do so, we 
   must also install svn package. a simple script to get packages by 
   year is this: 

#!/bin/bash 
if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then 
  echo "Usage: " 
  echo " $0 <year>" 
else 
  svn checkout https://github.com/sixteencolors/sixteencolors-archive/trunk/$1 
fi 
   make it executable and use like: ./scriptname 2001 to get all packages 
   for year 2001. 

   finished?... not yet... i noticed that this repo doesn't have all the 
   packages, like 16colo.rs site does. some are missing... so to get them 
   all... (like the pokemons, gonna catch them all :p ) we will also have 
   to rip 16colo.rs. 

   so... i give you the power! but use it with responsibility! i am not 
   responsible for any misbehaving of yours. 16colo.rs is a great site 
   and we have to be responsible with it. so do not download all at once 
   each pack. use the script just to find missing packs from the git repo 
   above. you'be been warned! 
   to the script... so the script downloads all packs from a specific 
   year, from the 16colo.rs website. because some of them are too big and 
   personally didn't want them, i placed a "size check" and if the size 
   is bigger than 10MB it doesn't download it. you can remove that if you 
   want. 

   you could also add a check for the file if all ready exists and if so, 
   don't get it again. it will make things quicker. this is your homework 
   :p 

    #!/bin/bash 
    max=10485760 #10MB 
    curl https://16colo.rs/year/$1/$2 | grep "href=\"/pack*/" | \ 
    cut -d "\"" -f2 | cut -d "/" -f3 > tmp.txt 
    while read -r line; do 
      ss=$(wget --spider https://16colo.rs/archive/$1/$line.zip 2>&1 | \ 
      awk '/Length/ {print $2}') 

      if [ "$ss" -gt "$max" ]; then 
        echo "File: $line is too big. Not Downloading." 
      else 
        echo "$line : ok" 
        wget https://16colo.rs/archive/$1/$line.zip 
      fi 

    done < tmp.txt 
    rm tmp.txt 
   use it like this:  ./scriptname <year> <page> 
   you know what the <year> is, but let me explain <page>. if you go to 
   the 16colo.rs website and browse packs from a specific year you may 
   see that it has more than one page to show. thats the page number. an 
   example. to download the packages from this page: 

                      https://16colo.rs/year/1998/2 

   you will execute the script like: ./scriptname 1998 2 

   got it? if no press N, if yes press Y...
