      TortoiseSVN - Home

      Basically just install that. Then you can create new folders, right click on them and paste a link and it will dump all the files into that folder. You can use it to update folders etc as well. It's brilliant, saves alot of time

      you need an SVN client. TortoiseSVN is one popular one. you can find it with google.

      download and run the installer. this is all you will have to do clientside. its setup to work by default.

      now navigate to the SVN link. copy the link with your copy/paste protocol.

      now create a new folder in the location you want the info downloaded to.

      right click the new folder and choose SVN Checkout.

      the client will pop up and there will be an open box near the top for entering the copied SVN link. [many times the link will appear by hovering over the box, or it will be autofilled]

      click enter and poof, the info will now be downloaded to the destination folder.

      you get a shiny green icon on the folder to show the info download is complete and the info matches the source.

      if you change any of the info in the folder the icon will change colors depending on the change.

      a hidden folder will be created inside the destination folder saving the link info for updating.

      to update the info, right click and choose the appropriate choice. its self evident.

      there is also a handy guide here on the forums if you would like to doublecheck.

      good luck.
