Use zip download instead of scraping images [JaiminisBox] #259

bryamamigo commented 5 years ago

I was downloading some chapters of [Jaiminisbox] and I noticed something the size of the files was different to what it used to be when downloading directly from the site, so I did a test and saw that the chapter downloaded from FMD was almost the half the size of the one downloaded directly from the page. I came to the conclusion that FMD download the chapters that are uploaded on the website to read online which have reduced quality to be lighter instead of downloading the .zip that are the chapter in full.

Then My doubt is that if I am right or not.

If I'm right, is there any way for FMD to download the ZIPs instead of the online chapter?

This is a feature that will probably be implemented at some point. Right now the mechanics of FMD won't allow the download of fileformats other than image files. With some websites supporting the download of zip and to reduce the serverload it is a good idea overall to use it. It will probably also be faster for us to download.

My downloaded archive is only half of the size (19 MB), which is probably the same quality as the images on the website... You didn't accidentally downloaded the zip twice and merged the archives didn't you? Better compare the image files instead of the archive size.
