[Question] Standalone client #163

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Are there any plans to make a standalone client so that we can throw, let's say 100 links, and it'll automatically download all of it until image limit has been reached?

Well, I don't have free time to make a new version or even maintain it for now. A v2 version is planned a few years ago, and may have some idea about the feature, but at that time I'm too lazy, and for now I'm too busy in my real life.

As the cost of downloading original images is more expensive than before, if you want to download many of them (like you said 100 galleries), it's better to download with torrent if available, or use E-Hentai's H@H Downloader or archive download (provided by itself, with spending some GP or credits).

I'm not sure are there any other tools can download, here is some tips but I'm not sure whether they're working or not:

Check out gallery-dl. It uses a lot less RAM, but it's not as fast as EHDL (it downloads one image at a time) and it can't add metadata to the zip file, but it's probably the 2nd best downloader for exhentai at the moment. If anyone is good with python and wants to help gallery-dl's author and solve the metadata problem, please do so. https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl
