2023 several suggestions

[tempo660]

Hi. It's been five years since BASC-Archiver has received an update, so I'm aware my suggestions might fall on deaf ears. Regardless:

1. The geoflag stylesheet is not downloaded for boards that use it.

2. It would be nice to provide the option to 'correct' the thumbnail image links, so it points to the local folder with the downloaded full-size images.

3. Termux is now a popular Android app for accessing the terminal and running BASC-Archiver. The README should be reworded to reflect that. Also the option should be provided to change the default download directory, instead of specifying it each time.

4. Batch download of more than one thread, such as an entire catalog. Perhaps providing options to limit to first x amount of threads sorted by reply count, bump order, etc.

Hey there,

This was the first code project by our team all the way back in 2013 and since then as you can see, we've written code for bigger and better archivers ever since.

Now surprisingly, 4chan archives scrape all of 4chan. So our team hasn't really needed this script to scrape single threads anymore. However I guess it could be cool if someone would like to contribute more to these old scripts since I understand that 1. They are still usable and 2. There may be reasons why users need single threads. Are you a python programmer?

I know a bit of bash but that's all. The BASC-Archiver still functions fine, but I feel like it could be expanded. There are times where it's appropriate to save an entire board catalog, instead of just a single thread. We all wish we could return back to that special moment when x event happened on 4chan, or when that major event occurred to see what the initial reactions where. I see on 4chan regularly anons desiring the sort of features I suggested above. All I know is how to poke others with a stick in an attempt to coerce them into writing some code.
