-g <genre> Download a specific genre (for the time being this must be done
by using the genre number at modarchive.org. In order to get the
number, go to modarchive.org and click the genres page. Hover your
mouse over the genre and look for the number in the link address.)
Genre will also ask you for a page number. This is refering to the
search results page. Leave blank for page 1, then run the script
again and enter 2, 3, 4, etc... if you want to download the rest
of the pages.
Hint: Use + symbol instead blankspaces in search strings.
Hint 2: (UNTESTED) if you're running Mac OSX, you must first run this command before the script will run: function _wget() { curl "" -o ; };
