I has created a e621 pool downloader:
https://github.com/toboe-wolf/e926PoolDownloader/zipball/master

I has made it for YOU! =3

( e621 pool downloader is a modification of:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/danboorupooldl/ )

EDIT (23/10/17):
I have updated the pool downloader with some bug fixes. In particular, it now works with unicode pool names, and will no longer sometimes fail to download certain posts.

Please note that as of right now, it still only works with Python 2.7 (not Python 3)

You can download it for windows/mac/linux here:
https://github.com/toboe-wolf/e926PoolDownloader/zipball/master

Not working. :/

it's for windows only. you need python. then put the pool id in the .bat

I have windows vista, i have python, and the problem is that the CMD window close as soon as i execute the .bat

This closing of the CMD window shall plague you no more!

Still don't work. So i modified the.bat file and cleans all the syntaxes error in the pool.py file.

Now i have another problem: the downloader.py try to import urllib2 but urllib and urllib2 are merged since python 3.0.0 .... :\

Hmm. Yes... I know some of these words.

And we aren't using difficult words for now :o)

It works for me on windows 7 and python 2.7.2, and I love it. Thanks.

Couldn't it be made sticky or something? It would be shame if it drown in flood of other posts.

EDIT:
I've said that it works too soon. It downloaded pool #1920, but at pool #1445 I've got error

http://e621.net/pool/show.xml?id=1445&page=1
Traceback (most recent call last):

(...)

self.downloadPosts()
File "MYDIR\e621boorupooldl_v0_5\_e621boorupooldl_v0_5\util\Downloader.py", line 152, in download

os.mkdir(poolFolder)
WindowsError: [Error 267] Folder name is incorrect*: u'MYDIR\e621boorupooldl_v0_5\outp
ut_pools\MLP:_Dragon_You_Over!'

*Or something like that - I've translated it from my language.

You should handle, that Windows forbids ':' in folder names.

Adding:

os.chdir(destinationFolder)
        >>self.poolName = self.poolName.replace(":", "")
        poolFolder = os.path.join(os.getcwd(),self.poolName)

in Downloader.py solved this for me, so adding few lines like this (or is there one function for this, I don't know python that good), should fix it.

EDIT 2:
There is another, more important bug. I've started dowloading one pool, and that happened

After getting corrupted file with prefix 8, it re-download it with prefix 9, then re-download it with prefix 10, and again, and again, until I've stopped it.

i apologize.

CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED.

I will try to fix, yes no?

*TELEGRAPH SOUNDS*
BREAKING NEWS!:

Allied NATO forces have reached a peace agreement with the North Pole. CHRISTMAS IS UN-CANCELLED.

Horribly named pools will no longer cause the downloader to become emo.
The downloader will no longer go around changing filename prefixes for re-attempts.

Please let me know if you run into any more problems. ;3

Since it's related and (in my opinion) easier to use and keep updated, here's my take on this.

Browser script to download a pool: https://e621.net/forum/show/70380

Note to self: Port this to Linux later

Congrats for bumping a 9 month old thread...

But it was a legitimate bump. No point in spreading this topic across multiple threads.

Well it stopped working now, not 9 months ago.

BTW can't we make sticky thread with links to forum thread with useful tools like this thread, forum #70380, forum #48817, or some more I don't remember?

@Aurali
It worked, thanks.

Thanks for helping to fix it. I hadn't used it lately, and I don't know how to watch forum threads; I didn't know it was broken

Might be a "bit" of a bump, but I'm having an issue with your downloader.. First off, love the app, best pool downloader I've found so far! Just recently, in the past couple months, I've been getting this error:

I have limited coding experience, and can't seem to find what the issue is and why it can't find an "rfind" attribute..

I hid username for reasons.

You have python 3.x installed and it is written for python 2.7. In 3.x you need to call print as a function instead of as a keyword.

OP: if you from __future__ import print_function (and adjust the usage of print accordingly, ie. to the py3 style), it should work on both Py2 and Py3. The 2to3 tool can probably do this for you.

You can see here that print_function has been available since alpha2 of 2.6.0 . util/Downloader.py actually already uses print function, it's only pool.py that doesn't.

I have updated the pool downloader with some bug fixes. In particular, it now works with unicode pool names, and will no longer sometimes fail to download certain posts.

Please note that as of right now, it still only works with Python 2.7 (not Python 3)

Not all heroes wear capes. You my fellow internet user (and all the other furries who helped debug the script) are a hero.

Still works and very easy to modify! Tyty!

Toboe not sure if you saw this, didn't see a response to this post. But why not make this a browser script? Tampermonkey is one I've seen most commonly used and it's easier to keep up to date

I don't think I understand how to use this. How do I get the pool ID? the only pool ID I know of is something like 12345 but the script asks for a pool ID like 1188 803 1819 1274 apparently. It downloads the default thing so I know the script works, I just don't know how to change it?
