Topic: Downloading pictures

Posted under General

Hiya, e621.net! Is there an easier way to download all images of one category/tag instead of having to manually click on all of the images, and then downloading them manually?

why do you even need to? They're all here, accessible anywhere! :3

you make a very valid and good point, Arcturus. I only ask because sometimes i'm on the go/away from my internet connection, or it goes down on me for several days at a time...

If there was a way that's both easy to do and not resource intensive...

This makes me wonder how big my furry porn folder is...

Hmmm...

155.7MB

Not that much I guess it's small cause I stopped adding images to it after I got up to more than I could keep track of anymore.

couldn't someone program some kind of bot to find and save images with a certain tag? this way e621 wouldn't have to do anything.

*checks furry porn folder*

1.11 GB

I gotta get rid of some...

<em>Get rid of some? Why, that's crazy talk! xD
Mine tops out at 12.8 GB with images, videos, audio clips, GIF's, and other random furry stuff.

I have half of them tagged so far with the artist, character, year, and the gender.</em>

Gay
Straight
Solo
Tame
Comic
etc.

Well, you're out-scoring me. I'm only at a measly 1.53GB, and that's even including non-pr0n.

1.58 GB, but 1.04 GB of that are these Visual Novel things someone showed me. Haven't even looked at them yet...

I sorta stopped saving pics after having to deal with absurd file names just to avoid duplicate names, and that most of the time I have access to the internet.

As for the bot thing, I have one made by an associate that can make an HTML file with images that have specified tags for Gelbooru, Nekobooru, WildCritters, and e621 (so that one may mass-download them via downloader), but I never use it considering I can just go onto the internet, I don't want to cause a major burden on the servers which already have enough loads on them, and that direct image links act weird for e621.

You obviously have internet, why the fuck are you saving images? Call me strange, but if I have a constant net connection I don't save pictures.

some people carry their shit around for giggles. i know i have alot of stuff on my zune, but it's mostly reiq's stuff, with very few furry stuff.

What if your favorite artist decides to nuke their FA or all-out vanish from the fandom? Adam Wan, Java, Gembeck, Edis, moosebmd, and Chasington are some examples that I can think of.

Just like YouTube, your favorite things aren't always going to stay put, they will get deleted for various reasons over time, and that's why I save, save, save so I can enjoy it for as long as I want to! =^_^=

Old habit from an earlier age, before I knew where the good imageboards were and wouldn't necessarily be able to find an image a second time, or would have to trawl through a dozen or more small sites' collections.

Plus, sometimes I'd just as soon randomly flip through the collection of stuff I like, at which point my hard drive is more convenient than the internet.
