JPEG grabber

[marcus]

Does anyone know of a program which can be used to download full images from thumbnail links from websites, without manually clicking on each thumbnail?

[MrDark]

Theres a good one intergrated into Firefox called downTHEMall. Should find it no problem on tab sites.

[marcus]

nice one, looks like that could be the ticket - shame that you have to click on each link selection rather than using select all - but other than that its much quicker

[edandersen]

Porn, yeah?

You can select all - just check the filters, that checks them for you.

'wget' can also recursively grab whole websites or just wildcards you specify too

I've heard of some app called 'webzip' which does similar but never used it.

[marcus]

Ta Marty. Porn? Noooooo..

A triple-gold star goes to anyone who knows of the existence of such a application for the Mac.

Kernow already suggested something you can use on the Mac... wget for the win... plus I'm sure versiontracker has plenty of GUI-based front ends for it if so needed.

[kernow]

yep, wget you'll find on mac but its a command line app

its the best there is though

you could probably find a frontend for it somewhere

on a mac just hold Apple, Shift and 3 for a screengrab. You should hear a camera flash sound, and it will save the grab on the desktop, generally called 'Picture1.pdf'.

Awesome little function.

Ive installed a program called "Neodownloader" which basically goes to the website you specify and downloads all images within it, I left it on overnight and this morning it had downloaded over 2.5GB of images! It can be told to ignore certain things, and even downloads movies. Its great - but it also cost me over 20 quid..

http://www.stripdir.com may be worth a look. By looking at the top "strips", it appears that it is largely used for porn, but your higher needs may be served well by it.

The site just opens up all the larger images from the thumbnails for you in a single page, which could then be batch downloaded by a Firefox plugin or whatever you preferred.

[EDIT: Damn. Didn't realise that the poster above was you, marcus. I'm a little too late to this party...]

[Resonance]

How is your Mac by the way?
You a converted mac user now?

[kernow]

over 20 quid?

man, wget is free probably a nice frontend for it somewhere too

straying bit off topic, but can anyone suggest a program (PC) to do the same but with .avi's etc ? thanks.
