When I link to images on cpt-city I get a 403 (forbidden), what's all that about?
Please don't link to the images, take copies instead.
Can I download the whole site?
Feel free to. If you just want the cpt files, perhaps the cpt-city package is what you're looking for.
How can I download the whole site?
With the bulk downloading tool of your choice. Be aware that the cpt-city
robots.txt requests that robots do not access the gradient files
— but this does not apply to people.
I like the wget
downloader. To override robots.txt in wget, just add
-e robots=off to its command-line.
A wget command such as
wget -e robots=off -r -np -nH --cut-dirs=2 -A inc -w1 \
http://sview01.wiredworkplace.net/pub/cpt-city/neota/
will download all POV-Ray (inc) gradients by Neota.
Will there be a GIMP gradient package?
There doesn't seem much point, the GIMP can only handle a few hundred gradients before it slows to a crawl.
Will cpt-city support the Photoshop gradient format?
I'm afraid not, it is a secret format. Photoshop users should be able to import the grd format files though.
