This script will download images from the virtual seismic atlas (http://see-atlas.leeds.ac.uk:808), then add a url and caption. This is designed to run on linux and requires the python module gdshortener and also the library imagemagick installed and in the system path.

How it works? Images and info are scraped from the main site then and images are downloaded to the current directory, but only if they do not alread exist. Shortened urls are registered and captions are appended to the image using calls to imagemagick on the command line. (This is because PIL wasn't working as desired.)

This is pre-alpha so beware. You may beed to run it a few times to make sure all images are downloaded.
