Maybe I'm missing something, but I haven't found an easy way to download pdf versions of all the 3gpp specs. Why would you want to do that? Well, dealing with MS-Word format is a pain. And, there's no online full-text search of all the specs.
indeed.
So, I threw together a quick web scraper to pull down the latest version of all the 3GPP specs from the ETSI web site in pdf format.
Interesting. I once had a poor (student) employee do that manually and create symlinks for them. I'm sure I can distribute a tar of the symlinks (so you can open 04.08.pdf), but I of course am not allowed to distribute the actual PDF files for copyright reasons.
Thought it might be useful to others - http://monkey.org/~joe/files/fetch_3gpp.py
Definitely, I think that may be very useful for others...
Thanks for sharing it.
