Phrack is what made me explore the lower depths of a computer, some of the earlier articles are a little cringe worthy, but the later articles (except the "radio hacking") are generally very very good, Here I knocked up some python to download all phrack issues from 1 to 62, you'll need to alter the code for the latest one when it goes up :-)

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python

import urllib

address = 'http://www.phrack.org/archives/phrack'
issues = 62
extension = '.tar.gz'
initial = 0
name = 'phrack'
i = 1

for i in range(issues):
	if i < 10:
		
		i = i+1		

		link = "%s%d%d%s" % (address, initial, i, extension) 

  		f = urllib.urlopen(link)
 		
		fname = "%s%d%d%s" % (name, 0, i, extension)
		
		g=open(fname,'wb')
 		g.write(f.read())
		g.close()

			
	elif i >= 10:
		
		i = i + 1

		link = "%s%d%s" % (address, i, extension) 

  		f = urllib.urlopen(link)
		
		fname = "%s%d%s" % (name, i, extension)
		
		g=open(fname,'wb')
 		g.write(f.read())
		g.close()
its a quick hack, i know where the faults are, but it does the job, hope you like
