What is the reason?

Microsoft creates a GIVE AWAY every year and put there a lot of books that you can download FREELY, but there are only option to download they one to one and not all at once in a ZIP or similar format.

How I can get the books?

You can just use my script to download they. Write in your terminal:

Note: You need wget installed in your system.

$ curl -O https://github.com/Edu4rdSHL/microsoft-giveaway-books/raw/master/script.sh && sh script.sh

Or

$ wget -O https://github.com/Edu4rdSHL/microsoft-giveaway-books/raw/master/script.sh && sh script.sh

Or if you don't care for error checking or other misc stuff on your terminal

$ wget -q --content-disposition $(curl -s https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/2017/07/Ligman_eBooks_2017.txt | tail -n +2  | awk {'print $1'})

Windows
