Manually downloading files like that is definitely time consuming. Especially if you need to repeat the same thing dozens of times. I remember I would easily spend half hour daily downloading some work related pdf files. Then someone helped me to automate the process and 30 minute manual work was reduced to a minute.

I was planning to write a code to automatically download those csv files. I need weekly ones there and it seems very simple to do and useful. Especially when I need data for thousands of stocks. Will work on it next couple days.
