GDX Downloader
==============
This is a simple downloader for the data from the MLB
[Gameday website](http://gdx.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/).
Usage
-----
./gdxdownloader.sh
# Download a specific game
./gdxdownloader.sh http://gdx.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2012/month_04/day_01/gid_2012_04_01_nyamlb_miamlb_1/
# Download all games for a specific day
./gdxdownloader.sh http://gdx.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2012/month_04/day_01/
# Download all games for a specific month
./gdxdownloader.sh http://gdx.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2012/month_04/
Output goes to mlb/ in the current directory and starts at components/game/mlb.
If downloading a directory, the URL *MUST* end with a '/'. The downloader
goes [breadth-first](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search).
Downloading a full day's data (~10 games) takes about 15 minutes and takes
about 20MB on disk.
