and modify wget command adding -c option: wget -cq http://www.highfonts.com/download.asp?fontID=$COUNTER

For slow modems I suggest to modify the script, to resume download, as follows:
------------------------------------------------------ # Description: # Very simple script to download all free fonts from http://www.highfonts.com # Will work if they don't change their site. # # Use: # # The script will download the fonts in the directory where it is executed. # #!/bin/bash TOTAL=3218 COUNTER=$TOTAL INSTALLED=`less ./count` if [ "$INSTALLED" == "" ] ; then INSTALLED=$TOTAL fi until [ "$COUNTER" == "$INSTALLED" ] ; do let COUNTER-=1 done until [ $COUNTER -lt 1 ]; do clear echo "Starting the download of free fonts from highfonts.com" echo "$TOTAL fonts will be downloaded..." echo "Please wait... (This might take a while...)" echo echo "Progress" echo "-------------------------------------------" echo "Waiting to download : $COUNTER fonts" echo "-------------------------------------------" wget -q http://www.highfonts.com/download.asp?fontID=$COUNTER rm -rf ./count echo $COUNTER >> ./count let COUNTER-=1 done echo "Done." ------------------------------------------------------

until [ $COUNTER -lt 1 ]; do
clear
echo "Starting the download of free fonts from highfonts.com"
echo "$TOTAL fonts will be downloaded..."
echo "Please wait... (This might take a while...)"
echo
echo "Progress"
echo "-------------------------------------------"
echo "Waiting to download : $COUNTER fonts"
echo "-------------------------------------------"
wget -q http://www.highfonts.com/download.asp?fontID=$COUNTER
rm -rf ./count
echo $COUNTER >> ./count
let COUNTER-=1
done

echo "Done."

Does it install them as well? Because I know different types of fonts go in different folders, so it would be a pain to move all them, or I could be wrong.

Nope... It just downloads the fonts as zipped files. Try to extract the font(s) you want in /home/.fonts/
