Find MangoLassi Post Views Per Thread

Following @dbeato's script that helps you to download an entire website, I'll follow up with a simple one that helps you to grab every thread on ML and tells you how many views it has. This thread takes a long time to run, as it reads a lot of data. You can just output to a text file and then manipulate as you like. Or you can easily make a list of threads that you care about and track things in that way. It is easy to change it just a little to make it useful for you in different scenarios.
#!/bin/bash for i in {1..20000}; do echo $i " " $(curl --location --referer ";auto" --netrc -s -D - http://mangolassi.it/topic/"$i" | grep human-readable-number | grep -v topic | cut -d'>' -f2 | cut -d'<' -f1); done -
Here is some sample output...

I need to see how to use Curl to download the site, as it might be better than wget.

@dbeato cURL is really good for on the fly processing. WGET is more focused on getting the whole site down to disk.
