Automate downloading of links

I am a newcomer to coding... I have to download a large number of files from a site and they are all on separate pages. I was wondering if it is possible to scan through all the links maybe 2 pages deep and look for and simulate clicks on a download button?

Short answer - no. Not with Javascript.

All advice is supplied packaged by intellectual weight, and not by volume. Contents may settle slightly in transit.
