In 2009 I wrote a perl script to get all the approach plates. It was not too much work to go ahead and get the low, high, & area charts as well.
Downloadcharts program that will get all the low altitude, high altitude, and area charts. Instructions. So if you have a pda device, ipad, computer, GRT maybe, well then getting these on your system so you can take them around is useful. Im working on a version to also get sectionals & terminals. Finally there will be a version that will do image manipulation to take the original PDF files from the FAA and resize them into a much smaller version that will work nicely on a PDA device. Right now thse big PDF work poorly on PDA devices due to their high resolution and size. Most folks dont need anywhere near that kind of resolution.
