What's up fellow data-hoarders I made an interactive Jow Forums image downloading script. You give it the thread url and it asks you where you want to make a specific subfolder, I would go with g/traps or g/faggotry. It'll even check if the folder exists before making it so that you don't have duplicates! I want to make one for sites like e-hentai and nhentai so I can have an easy way of saving doujins but I don't even know where to start with those. Any anons willing to help out with wget would be much obliged
I know there's big programs that download things for you but a script can be mapped to a keybind, can be combined with other scripts, can run headless, and can run on even the shittiest toaster, so there is merit to this. #!/bin/bash #use --limit-rate=Xk to limit bandwidth hogging echo "Where to save images in 4shit folder?" read dir #use test to see if the parent directory is there or not if [ ! -e /home/user/.wget/image/Jow Forums/$dir ] then echo "Directory doesn't exist, make it? [n/y]" read answer if [ $answer != 'y' ] then exit fi else mkdir -p /home/user/.wget/image/Jow Forums/$dir fi #no -nH since the user will be picking the subdirectory rather than having wget lump all board images together. -nh will group images with a seperate directory per board name though, if you want to make this a non-interactive script. spot=/home/user/.wget/image/Jow Forums/$dir wget -P $spot\ -nd -c --exclude-directories="boards.Jow Forums.org/*/thread/"\ -r -l 1 -H -N\ --secure-protocol=auto --https-only\ -e robots=off -ER html,s.jpg\ -D i.4cdn.org -A png,gif,jpg,jpeg,webm $1 echo "Thread $1 Downloaded"
And here it is in practice All I did was give it a board name/folder name so like g/fags and here's the output makes downloading shit from w and wg trivial
Also it doesn't download thumbnails, I know that's annoying
Blake Howard
Saved Thanks op, good project
Aaron Nguyen
No prob You can put it in your $path too and run it like a regular program from any directory I have no clue where to start with making an e-hentai script though
Gabriel Rodriguez
>interactive Nice. I had to enter all my data by hand when I used to dl threads.
that would download thumbnails as well dumbo also it doesn't talk to you. My script has SOUL
Josiah Sullivan
Ah yes. soul if you wish to you can add a rm *s.* to remove the thumbs. I just type it manually tho.
Cooper Brooks
meaning your shitty script still needs more input and wastes bandwidth Mine automatically ignores thumbnails and will make directories for easy orgaization as needed.
Cameron James
Come one, the thumbnails are barely more than a single packet per image. Also it's added convenience when you want to post images for ants.
Ryan Perry
You're still manually organizing shit though. Also your command will download from HTTP which is dangerous
Gabriel Evans
Jow Forums rename jpeg to jpg; some boards you can upload pdf;
Jack Lewis
it downloads both jpeg and jpg, and you can just add pdf too
Nathan Watson
>You're still manually organizing shit though. >He hasn't aliased his thread image download script.
just right click, open git-bash here, and threaddl [url]
I even added the rm as per your suggestion.
Brandon Moore
A powershell function to do that:
function Save-FloorchanImage {
Josiah White
4chin has an api, use it you pseudo nigger.
Caleb Clark
windows niggers get out and stay out look at all that shit you had to type out jesus that's not adaptable or stringable though. You can take out the read shit and string it into an image converter for example. Like >download thread images >pipe into imagemagick and stick them all into 1 pdf or giant png >download webm pipe into ffmpeg to edit or convert them >automatically convert downloaded gifs into webms
You can have it running in the background detecting and time you copy a Jow Forums thread url and automatically download it without even needing open up a terminal. etc. too complicated
Jesus christ man, just use python or node.js and use the fucking api you retard.
Jace Lee
how does all that bloated shit work better than a simple little bash script?
Charles Thompson
Isn't the directory creation part broken? If the dir doesn't exist you ask the user whether or not he wants to create it. If the answer is no you exit, if the answer is yes you do nothing. Only when the dir already exists do you call mkdir. if [ ! -e /home/user/.wget/image/Jow Forums/$dir ] then echo "Directory doesn't exist, make it? [n/y]" read answer if [ $answer != 'y' ] then exit else mkdir -p /home/user/.wget/image/Jow Forums/$dir fi fi
