Since you're using a protocol (HTTP) and data format
(HTML) over the network to access the plan9 site,
and it therefore doesn't know whether you're
Glenda or a computer program submitting the form and receiving the URL,
i'd have thought you could automate it to remove any inconvenience.

Every limitation (even good few days) is an obstruction for fully automated
image downloading.

If it is not possible for the whole image, could that be possible only for
the kernel source?
