Okay, so I've known for a while that someone has been recording audio
books of two completed works from one of my favorite web serial
writers. Thing is, both works in question span hundreds of chapters
and the people doing the audio books don't, best I can tell, offer any
convenient means of downloading everything they've recorded thus far,
and I don't like the idea of tabbing through and control entering over
100 links for one or going through a couple hundred blog posts and
locating the download button for the other.

I'm using Firefox-ESR 78.10... Deos anyone know of an accessible
browser extention that can either download all of the media files
linked on the page in the active tab or recursively download media
files from the current page and pages it links to on the same domain,
ideally by adding a "Download All" option to the context menu?
Alternatively, anyone know a command line tool that can do this,
ideally which can read URLs from a txt file?

If it helps, the pages I have bookmarked for the two audiobooks are:
