Downloading html-based Galleries

[stiefelknecht]

Hello,

do you have any idea, how to download html-based galleries? The overview-page contains with thumbnails which links to other html-files with the pictures. I tried several plugins for Firefox and Chrome but didn't find any working plugin.

Thank you for your help :-)

This is probably the wrong forum to ask a question, but you can fix this by turning the thread into a tutorial once you have figured out how to do it

wget is the best tool for this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget

But it is a command line tool and it takes some time to tweak the arguments for your use case.
If you are not careful, it follows every link and downloads the whole internet. There are some options to set the download boundaries (--level, --no-parent, etc.). These have to be adapted for each use case.

If you google "wget examples" or "wget tutorial" you will find more resources.

edit:
by coincidence I just had to download images from a wordpress site (site censored to protect the not-so-innocent):

wget -r --accept-regex ".*/wp-content/uploads/2020.*"  https://foo.com/photos/bar/

I wanted to only get the images from 2020, so I set a regex to include only images from 2020.

I've found One-Click Downloader works well for Chrome, it handles most image sites

Image Downloader is useful as well

For everything else that's not covered by those I built a spreadsheet to create my image addresses for wget to rip

I'll use this post an example, it's a nice short one
http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...1&postcount=11

I save the page as html (right-click, Save As), open that in text editor.
Near the bottom (depending on the site) is a big block with the image addresses in it, looks like this



i replace "http" with "\nhttp", and "jpg" with "jpg\n" - this puts each address on a separate line (different text editors and OS use different codes for new line, just Google if you're not sure) - it now looks like this



Paste that into the "dump here" tab on the spreadsheet and sort it A-Z, that gives you a big block of the thumbnail and/or image addresses, depending on the pic host. Paste those into col B of the relevant sheet and it should pull the image addresses out - some hosts need the image folder location, so I click the first pic, then right-click "Open image in new tab" to get that.
There's instructions in the top row, but I'll subscribe this thread if anyone gets really stuck.

Once you've got the image addresses, paste them into a text file and use

wget-i filename.txt
