How to download all subtitles from Opensubtitles.org in a specific language? [closed]

wget

Excuse me if this post is not related to this forum, but I couldn't find any other place to ask my question. It would be appreciated if you introduce me a suitable place for this post. By the way, I am trying to download all the subtitles from Opensubtitles.org in a specific language (say English) and find their translations in another language (say Arabic). I tried wget, but I couldn't download anything useful from this site. (I need .srt, .zip and .txt files) Can everyone help me?

Bests.

Downloading everything individually will put an unnessesary load on their servers. Better use something like http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/OpenSubtitles.php

The download link is something like:

http://dl.opensubtitles.org/en/download/sub/4617044

Where 4617044 is the ID of the subtitle. You can use this URL with wget to download it, but it won't have the correct filename.

Alternatively, you can use the XML-RPC api to search and download subtitles.
