imagevenue grab tool

[cybormatt]

I'm too lazy to update this post all the time.
Just go check my official page for the latest version :)
http://cybormatt.googlepages.com/home :D

[LysDexia]

I likes it. Maybe I'll finally use Firefox for something over IE or Opera if it means I can snag sets posted on ImageVenue without all the click, right click, close, wash, rinse, repeat...

[cybormatt]

So here's an update. The new version 1.0.1 clears the download list from the download manager as it downloads the pictures. If you download too much, firefox gets real boggy until you clean up the list.

I put the link above.

Also, if anyone needs any help installing the extension, let me know.
It basically boils down to opening the file with firefox.

Lysdexia, thank you for commenting.

I hope that this extension will come in handy for people.

What do you think is the best way to let people know about this?
I don't want to spam or anything, but I want to let people know.

[LysDexia]

matt, I think this would be better suited to Technix. It might also go in Suggestions/Bugs/Problems, but the Technix forum seems to be the more logical place to put this, if not on both forums. Maybe an admin/mod can tell you more.

I'll give it a run later on. I haven't gotten around to downloading this or Firefox (not installed ATM). Probably later on tonight, after I locate something to eat.

[R0LLERGIMP]

I posted one in this same forum last week. Mods didn't seem to mind. For those who don't use mozilla or don't want to install an extensionf or some reason go here (http://forum.dumpstersluts.com/showthread.php?t=25328). There's two different programs; one for Imagevenue and one for several different sites.

[cybormatt]

Ah yes, If I had been smart enough to find those ahead of time, I probably would have never bothered to put together that extension.

But, on the bright side, it works nicely within the web browser.... and it won't take much effort to add support for other image hosts.

On other note, I have future plans to make a thread leecher... the idea is to go through a thread, page by page, find images, and download them. You could just let it go all night, all day, whatever.

What do you guys think?

[bada bing]

has anyone tested this, just wanted to know user thoughts before giving it a whirl...

[R0LLERGIMP]

I haven't used the plugin, but I've used the external program for Imagevenue and it works great. I assume the other will basically work the same.

[cybormatt]

I've used it, and it's not bad. the only downside is that it ties up firfox while it's downloading. but hey, it's better than right click save.

[R0LLERGIMP]

That's to be expected, I would think. So I can't really see a downside to any of these.

[cybormatt]

If anyone can tell me what different image hosts there are, and perhaps a link to a thread that has pics from that host, I can make the updates quicker.

I've been doing my own searching and I now have support for 5 image hosts including imagevenue...

the hosts are:
imagehigh
imagedemon
imagevenue
*********
tinypic


It's still in the early stages although, so a release won't be made until I can get some solid testing.

[TheDude4211]

These for the work, Cybormatt. I'm gonna give both of them a shot. I will try to remember to get back here and comment.

[R0LLERGIMP]

OK, my roommate just hacked a shell script to achieve a certain degree of automation for all you non-Windows users. Remember this only works in Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD, etc, because it's written in Bourne Shell. You Windows users have the applications mentioned earlier in this thread. He only tested it with imagevenue.

http://www.**************/files/file.php?user_file_id=204188
How to use:
* Download the script and save it somewhere in your PATH as "dl-imagevenue" (I had to put the txt extension to be able to upload it).
* Open the thread with the gallery.
* Go to Tools > Page Info > Links.
* Search for all the picture links. You'll probably see they're all in a together in a row for each post.
* Mark them by clicking. Easy way: click the first one, press Shift and click the last one.
* Right click > Copy.
* Open a text editor and paste the links.
* Save file as text in the download directory you want, trying not to put "_" in the name. E.g.: links.txt.
* Run dl-imagevenue links.txt from that directory.
* Wait for the images to be downloaded and renamed.


Any of you linux users might also want to have a look at p0rn-comfort. http://www.cgarbs.de/p0rn-comfort.en.html
It's more of a tool for general static HTML galleries though.

[Billygotkilled]

This is by far the best Firefox extension ever. Just gave it a try and it worky perfectly. No more right click and save. Great! :BhuMp:

[wing43]

damn it wont work for my version :(

[cybormatt]

damn it wont work for my version :(

What version do you have? I can probably get it to work.


oh, and by the way... I am glad to see some linux/unix/*bsd fans out there. I have a linux script already for imagevenue, but I never posted it because the majority of people on this board use windows. eh!


And thank you all of you who have posted positive comments.

I still am in the development stages of the previously posted supported sites. ********* however is being a bitch! It seems to notice that a script is downloading the image and then it gives you a php file instead of the actual image.

I also took a small break to try my development at the DS thread sucker, but I have halted that for now and I'll be back to trying to get support for these other sites.

ciao

[wing43]

im using the current version 1.0.7
thanks in advanced

[cybormatt]

Okay, I've updated the tool.

I now has support for the following:
imagevenue
imagedemon
imagebeaver
squirrelturd
freeporndumpster
*********

and it also works with 1.0 to 2.0

I put the link on the first page.

I will eventually make my own website for this.

Enjoy.

[wing43]

hrmm is there any button or something?
how do i use it :/

[cybormatt]

hrmm is there any button or something?
how do i use it :/

after you install it, there is a new menu at the top called "Venue Grabber"
In this menu, there is a menu item for each supported image host.

When you go to a page in a thread that has thumbnails from one of these hosts, you click on a menu item to download from that host.

If there are thumbnails from more than one host in the same page, you will have to click the menu item for each host that you want to download. It is a future improvement to the extension to allow the downloading of mixed hosts.


If you did not get the new menu, or something else goes wrong, let me know.


Otay?

[wing43]

well i isntalled it but there is no menu

[cybormatt]

I think I know why.

I'll get back with you after I do some looking into it.

[cybormatt]

Okay, I figured out why it's not working for you.
I wanted to let you know that I didn't forget about you.
However, I am in the progress of fixing it.

Give me a little time and I will keep you posted on a fix.

[cybormatt]

Okay, wingman dude....

I have now tested it.

It should work for versions 1.0 to 3.0a1

Here's the link:
http://rapidshare.de/files/25741718/imagegrabber-1.1.1.xpi.html

the link is also on the first page. I hope this works for you. Let me know if you have any problems.

[wing43]

it works now
thanks prayer

[DDGuy]

Great idea but a lousy host. RS sucks donkey dick for me. All I get is that Download session is invalid....and this after two pop-ups per try. I give up...

Would someone be so kind to host it on bagongo or someother decent host?

[R0LLERGIMP]

Better fix your internet.

[cybormatt]

Try this. It is my test site for image grabber

http://cybormatt.googlepages.com/home

[DDGuy]

gottacha now !!!

I bow to you my man !!!! great tool :)

[cybormatt]

Thank ya!

And just for your information, be sure to check back on the web page for updates. Updates will no longer be uploaded to rapidshare. Updates will only be announced.

Peez

[cybormatt]

new version is out.
v1.1.2

It fixes a bug in the downloading function that caused it to download blank jpegs.

It also has an update feature. just click "check for updates" in the extensions dialog.

You'll have to install v1.1.2 to get the update feature however.

Oh, and you should use 1.1.2 from now on since the older version still have that bug.

Happy downloading.

[DDGuy]

thanks, cybermot.

I notice that when i use it (the previous version), it cause FF to open a shit load of tabs....is it a bug or something or is it something that can't be helped

[policefreq]

Got a web site now eh? Looks damn good to. I will change the link information from my site .. BTW if you need a counter hit me with a PM.

[cybormatt]

thanks, cybermot.

That must be a bug.

I have not encountered that as of yet. So I'm curious as to what's causing it. Is it still doing it in the newest version?

[cybormatt]

Thanks bud!
Yeah actually I do need a hit counter... I was just too lazy to do it. Googlepages is TOO user friendly. I am a little... eh... not pleased with the UI. But hey, nice URL. I like it.

[cybormatt]

Oh, and one more thing, just so you all know...
It's been awhile since my last update. I am working on the DS Thread sucker. I will keep you guys posted.

BTW, anyone find this tool useful?

[hylsss]

im a dumb user how do i install that thing? if i click on the rdf file it does nothin if i klick on the othe rfolder and then on the file there it strarts up nokia ad files program....


:whack0:

[Spike Spiegel]

:whack0:there shouldn't be an rdf file there. when you download it it should be a .xpi file which you double click and then choose open with firefox.

[cybormatt]

im a dumb user how do i install that thing? if i click on the rdf file it does nothin if i klick on the othe rfolder and then on the file there it strarts up nokia ad files program....
:whack0:

you must have a program that recognizes the extension of .xpi as a zip file
(after all, .xpi is really a zip file)
but you don't want to unzip the file. you want to save the file to your computer, so make sure you tell your browser not to "open" the program.

then open up firefox, goto file->open file
and tell it to open that file.

if you have any problems with this let me know

[cybormatt]

To the mods/admins:
this the link on the first page goes to my personal page,
can I uncode it and put a direct link? Or does it matter?

[cybormatt]

It's been another hard night of coding and I am pleased with the results.

I now have the thread leecher/sucker working

I have it so it will not download files if they already exist in the download directory (currently only for imagevenue)

I rewrote the main .js file so it's more efficient and cleaner

and now all I have left to do is make a feature that will download from all supported hosts with a single click.

a release should be coming up soon so keep your eyes open.

[cybormatt]

Added an update if anyone cares!
ImageHost Grabber v1.1.3 is now available for download.

Nice new thread sucker.

[therealman]

Hi Matt,

I can't get it to install under OS X. I've installed plenty of other firefox extensions, but this one shows up as having an RDF file instead of an XPI file?

[cybormatt]

You will have to save the file to a local folder on your computer. Don't let the web browser open the file.

Once it is saved, open firefox, and goto file->open file
and then pick the extension

if you get an rdf file again, then you have opened it.
(the reason for this is because a firefox extension is actually a zip file with some stuff in it. Mac OS probably recognizes that it's a zip file. We don't want that)

If you are still having trouble with this, please let me know.

Hi Matt,
I can't get it to install under OS X. I've installed plenty of other firefox extensions, but this one shows up as having an RDF file instead of an XPI file?

[therealman]

OS X did download it as a .xpi.zip file for some reason, and thus recognized it as a zip. Changing the filetype in the main AQUA interface didn't help change what it was recognized as in firefox. I opened the terminal and used the cp command to make a copy with .xpi as the extension and it worked fine.

Thanks,

[cybormatt]

You gotta love the unix behind all the fancy gui in mac os x.

:D

I'm glad it worked and I hope you enjoy it.

[cybormatt]

new update out.
v1.1.4

got an auto-rename feature for imagevenue, *********, and freeporndumpster.
also added support for ******** and ********
(which I know you guys don't use here, but they are there in the name of versatility)

[gman2005]

I have tried and cannot get it to work on OS X. Any suggestions? I newly switched to a mac and am not 100% literate in the new OS

[policefreq]

Ah yes ... I suggest you go back to PC ... MACs tend to give them selves more credit than what is actually due.

And @ Matt, the last update rocks ... Thanks for all the hard work you put in on this.

[cybormatt]

I have tried and cannot get it to work on OS X. Any suggestions? I newly switched to a mac and am not 100% literate in the new OS

When you go to download the file from the web page, does it give you an option to save the file to a folder, or does it just open the file?

Other people have had problems on MACs as well, and it seems to be that MAC OS wants to open the file. What you need to do is right click->Save As...
and save the file to a local folder.

MacOS might want to rename the file to blahblah.xpi.zip
You will need to rename it to blahblah.xpi

Then, open up firefox, goto file->open file...
and pick the file from the folder you saved it in.

If this is not your problem, then hit me up and I'll see what I can't do.

It's a nice merry go round of help each other out!

I use Windows XP SP2 and just got the new FF 1.5.0.5

I saved the file on my desktop. I tried to open it in FF. WHen I click "install", I get an error "invalid file hash (possible download corruption)". I downloaded it a few times. I even tried ver. 1.13 but I get the same bad luck. any suggestions?

This is a error I've not seen before.
I am not sure what that means... I will have to get back to you on that one.

Meanwhile, perhaps you can provide me with a little bit more info.
What kind of extensions do you have.... did you modify any of the firefox options that might have affected the install of 3rd party extensions?

Hmmm... there is always the backdoor method, if you're willing to go through a couple of extra steps. It involves setting up the extension as a dynamic extension (which I do when i develop). Maybe that might work for you?

Extensions I have are PDF download, noscript, adblock plus, ietab, and down them all. Maybe down them all has something to do with it.

Anyways, interesting thing..I just opened my extensions, and it shows that imagehost grabber 1.1.4 is installed? Not sure how...but it is. I dont know if it works though since I have no idea how to use it. LOL

[cybormatt]

You should see a new menu at the top called "Image Grabber"

the idea is simple...

go to a thread that has a page full of thumbnails.
Go to the "Image Grabber" menu and click one of the corresponding menu items.

If you want to download from only one specific image host, the supported list of hosts are in the first section of the menu.

There is always the second option, "get them all", which you can just download from all supported image hosts.

And the third and final solution (my favorite) is the thread sucker.

You go to the first page (and theoretically any page) of the thread, go to "thread sucker", put in the page range that you wish to download from, and watch it go.

[cybormatt]

Alas, my new version is out!
It's faster, better, stronger, harder!
Check below for a list of changes!


* This version changes the way http requests are made. Http requests are now made asynchronously, which means the browser is no longer tied up while it's grabbing files. A big thanks goes to a friend of mine, nullptr, for the algorithm used for this.
* Also, in addition to asynchronous downloads, multiple http requests are now supported. This increases the speed at which files are downloaded. For 56k users, keep it down to 1 or 2. For everyone else, 5 is plenty fast enough. Anything above that is not really much faster, and you increase your chance of failed downloads :(
* I also added support for a new imagehost, xxxloading.
* I changed the UI quite a bit. Instead of a bunch of menu items for each supported host, a window pops up and you can pick which host you want to download from. I also added a status window. No more changing the title bar text.
* I also changed the way links are retrieved. In the past, the hiddenwindow trick was used. I wrote a few functions that get the links from a stream of text instead of interpreting the text as an HTML DOM object. That means MAC users should in theory be happier :)
* But then again, I don't have a mac to test it with, so hit me up with an email if anything doesn't work right!
* enjoy

[billyellis]

Nice work, dude! Thanks for addressing the biggest problem on porn forums.

[cybormatt]

No problemo Mate.
Hope this works out for you!
It has worked out for me... oh so nicely!
and I do mean nicely!

[fuken_gruven]

cybormatt, that's a pretty cool tool. I wrote a similar one for grabbing movies. It's called MovieSlurp and it's written in C#.

It basically scans a series of "Index" pages looking for links to movie hosting sites. Once it finds a valid link, it downloads the movie from the hosting site. I've got the following sites configured: yourfilehost.com, flurl.com, camelstyle.net, and vapshare.com.

It's all configuration based. It uses regular expressions to extract the links. It also updates a database of all the files that were downloaded so if the same file exists on multiple index pages, it won't get downloaded multiple times.

Since June, I've downloaded over 2700 movies totaling over 23 GB.


Here's what the config file looks like. I broke it out into several sections since the forum kind of mangled it.

Nice dude!
That is a good idea of putting the regexs in a config file.
Right now it's all hard coded in the source.

The main reason is that on different imagehosts, I have to perform
different operations based on the regexp. Some day, but probably not anytime soon, I will be rewrite the code to utilize classes. Then I would put all operations in methods... and even assign the regexp as a member of the class.

But I don't know, I'm trying to figure out a nice clean way of doing this... that's efficient, user friendly, versatile, and all that jazz!

ah yes.

I had another idea that I might try out before I work on rewriting the code.
the idea is to use the name of the thumbnail as a starting point for finding the actual image on the image host. Then upon finding a match, and downloading the link, veryfying the file is some fashion.


I don't know. Right now school is more important.

But yeah, I did a count the other day, and I've downloaded in the vacinity of 100,000 or more pics... totalling about 30gigs... and my hard drive on my lap top is full. And that was just for July through mid august. I've simmered down since school started.

But hey dude, shoot me an email... I'd be interested in yaking

cybormatt@gmail.com

and yes, anyone is welcome to email me. that is my official address!

[marcus1984]

hey dude

this is an awesome tool ... actually one of the best!

just a slight problem.. it seems not to be working with ******** anymore.. do u know why this is?

also would it be possible to make it so that sucks threads from the www.thecandidboard.com forum?

much respect!

[Patr100]

Just wanted to thank you for this tool - I use Avant browser most of the time -Not keen on FF as it doesn't remember my large font settings whcih is a real annoyance so I only use it for this tool. I was a bit worried when the Grabber button didn't appear at first but maybe it needed a restart of FF or something -

The thread sucker is great. Now if only there was something similar for Avant.....

[Billygotkilled]

Since Firefox Version 2.0 is out now, will there be an update for the Imagevenue grab tool?

[suzyq]

Thanks for this plug in. I downloaded Downthemall, but this is better. Good Job.

[cybormatt]

hi everybody.

I've been gone for a while being a student and stuff and stuff.

I have fixed the imagevenue thing, and the ******** thing.
I have also checked compatibility with firefox 2.0

A new release is soon to be out...
so guys, be on the lookout.

sorry it's taken so long.

ta ta for now!

[cybormatt]

new release is out!
boo ya!
My azz worked hard on dis one, so enjoy :)

[Billygotkilled]

Awesome. Thanks a lot for the update!

[cybormatt]

thankz ya

[Spike Spiegel]

thanks matt. i love this extention.

[cybormatt]

spike, you are very welcome.

and I must say, I really enjoy this forum. :D

think of it like my way of contributing back to the forums
for all the great material I've leeched. I hope it suffices.

Of course, if I come across any good stuff, I'll be sure to
post it :)

ImageHost Grabber V1.2.2c is now out!
Alot of cool features, and important fixes.

Most importantly, I added a help file



Love this extension, Matt! Only one problem that I have noticed since updating to the new version.

Your extension used to list itself in the Menu bar, Next to the help menu. Now it is gone, I have to select Tools to get to it. Is there a way to fix/change this so it is available in the menu bar again?

[Spike Spiegel]

it's in the context menu for mine. when i right click it's right on the bottom. i actually like that a bit better than in the toolbar myself.

[cybormatt]

sorry for the belated response...
to answer your question, the reason why it was moved from the main menu bar was due to so many complaints about the intrusiveness. I personally enjoy it there, but a survey was done and a vast majority of people prefer it to be under the tools menu, and/or in the right click (context) menu.

Yes, there is a way to put in back in the main menu bar. But it involves modifying the extension file... and it will probably get overwritten in an update. If you are interested enough to do this, I can post a walk through/tutorial on how to modify the extension. It's not hard, but it might be a little bold for some people to swallow. :D

I originally attempted to make it an option as to where to put it... but that proved to be a bit more beyond my understanding of firefox and the DOM. I have not given up on it... I have just decided to postpone the feature until a later time.

hope this response helps.

[thepete]

First and foremost, thanks to cybormatt for all his hard work creating this amazing extension.

Now, quite possibly, I'm just a huge noob, but I haven't been able to get the Grabber to work for ********. I am running v.1.2.3 with FF v.2.0.0.1.
When I select "Get all pics on a page" the status window opens, and shows that everything is downloading normally, but when I check the destination folder, it's empty.

If anyone can help me out they will receive my undying gratitude :D

[cybormatt]

go to the download site and send an email to the developer...

[BT-star]

This sounds great i gonna check it out

[capture123]

I don't know how to install this extension & how to use it :(
sorry I am a noob.
plz help me out
thnx

[HP333]

maybe i am blind, but i didn't see anything for Mac.

:(

[cybormatt]

firefox extensions are, for the most part, platform independent.
Unless someone programs the extension to have a specific platform dependency, you should assume that they will work on Macs as well.

As for this extension... it is the case that it is platform independent.

Go to the download page and download the beta version. It works out an issue that some people were complaining about with Macs.

As for the dude above who said he couldn't get it to work... go to the page and send an email to the email address located at the bottom of the page.

That's the best way to get ahold of me. I have to apologize ahead of time... but this thread has such little visitation that I often disregard anything in here. Good luck with everything.

Let me know how it goes. :whack0:

[cybormatt]

Hmm.... there's a striking resemblence in the image host and the users nick.
So is the user mocking the site, or is the site owned by the user?

I will attempt support for boxtheclown.com

We'll see how that goes

Let me know how it goes. :whack0:

[boxtheclown]

The site is owned by the user. :D

[cybormatt]

So the next question is... where do you stand on me adding support for your site... i.e. making it possible to leech without going through the HTML pages???


The site is owned by the user. :D

[boxtheclown]

Really is a tough question and might be a long answer.

I currently allow people to download the galleries, which at times can take quite a bit of bandwidth.

You have to understand that while I didn't create the site to make money (wanted to see if I could do it) I don't want to throw a shitload of money at it as well. So if you are able to leech without ever hitting 1 page, then any kind of advertisement ranking hits the shitter as well as nobody ever clicks on an ad. Thus no recouping anything.

So I hope that the downloads of galleries is a good balance right now. While you don't have to click through every picture and save it, you at least have to visit the site.

[boxtheclown]

I never said yes or no to your actual question did I.

If the technology exists and you have the capability to do so more power to you.

I don't care if you add it, and feel free to do so. I just ask every now and then show some actual love to the sites that are hosting the pictures and click an ad (or 10 haha).

[cybormatt]

I'll say this... I don't ever click on the ads. Although I realize that the ads pay for the sites, the thing is, most of the ads are shit anyway. But hey, that's just me. I'm one in a million you know.

There are plenty of people out there who click on the ads.

Anyway, here's my viewpoint on the whole leeching thing... perhaps it is a wee bit distasteful, but no more distasteful than browsing the net for porn, in my opinion. I think the biggest issue is the abuse that could come about by leeching shit loads without any concern to what one is leeching. Right now, the extension has some issues with doing really large loads. That will hopefully be worked out.

Me, on the other hand, I'm more interested in a page, maybe two pages at a time. Most of the time I stick to manually saving the pictures anyway. You want to know why? There is a certain opportunity cost involved with driving your way through a bunch of pictures when there are only a few worth jacking off to. But that's just me. Some people can get off to just about anything... which then I may ask why even bother coming here right?

Anyway... I would like to think that a lot of the people who use the extension are the same way I am. I could be wrong... but who knows. It would be interesting to find out.

[chemical]

Hi cybormat, this program looks cool, but as soon as I choose a location for the pics to be saved in, I get a new window that is called image grabber status. the window is completely white. except for the 'stop leeching' and 'clear status text' buttons. Is this normal? I can't find any pics in the maps where they should be downloaded to.

[cybormatt]

Oh, you're evil!
I've been reviewing your website... and you are plain evil!!!

Extracting the images will prove to be a pain in the ass!

Hope you're proud :P

[cybormatt]

Chemical,
Can you explain what you are trying to do with the extension?

What you are explaining sounds normal. But, it's hard to tell if it's a bug or if it's just a misuse of the extension.

The program doesn't download attachments to a thread. So if you're trying to do that, then it will do just as you explained.

Also, if you are trying to download images from an unsupported host, then it will also do as you explained.

Perhaps the best way to solve this is if you post a link (make sure it's coded) to the page that you're trying to use my extension on.

[chemical]

I want to download pictures. they are hosted on imagevenue.
the pictures are one the page, and if I click on them, I get a new window where they are bigger, on imagevenue. But I can't seem to get them downloaded

[cybormatt]

chemical,
Have you tried one of the beta versions?
If you are already using a beta version and it is doing this, then I want you to try something for me.

Goto the location bar in firefox. type in the following:
about:config

scroll down until you find:
javascript.options.showInConsole

You can use the filter box to get there quicker if you prefer.

The value will most likely be set to false. Double click on it to change it's value. It should now be true.

Restart firefox.

Goto the tools menu and open "Javascript Console" or "Error Console" or something along that line.

Once in there, look for anything that has "imagegrabber" in it. If it does, copy and paste here (or send a screen shot, whatever).

If there is nothing, then go back to the page you tried to download the images from, then try to download the images, go back to the javascript console, and look again for any messages that have "imagegrabber" in them. If you find them, copy and paste here.

This will be a helpful start in getting the problem solved.

[asdfspace]

Hey, I've been testing your extension and it is really awesome. I have only one request: An option to set the number of re-tries for a particular image and then give up.

You see, for some reason one particular image host is being stoopid today, so when i try to grab a page full of images that includes a few from that host, the program goes into a loop of endlessly restarting the timed-out files. FYI the host is freeporndumpster

Thanks!

[chemical]

ok, this is what it says

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i45/Valoosj/naamloos-1.jpg

[cybormatt]

This is a good idea!

I am actually working on an experimental version where I have done this.

But it has made it's way to the official versions yet.
I'm not sure why freeporndumpster is being a bitch.... I hope it's not another bug... maybe it's just freeporndumpster... who knows. If there is a lot of net traffic, I do know that firefox can sometimes get stupified and just stop trying to transfer data yet the xmlhttp library still has a connected status.

I don't know why I do that... explain things to people.
Anyway, I'm doing the irresponsible thing and blaming it on firefox :P

[cybormatt]

I know what the problem is, but I don't know why it's doing this.
I normally would inquire further, but I'm going to offer a different solution.

I'm working on an extended debugging feature for the extension. I'm making this a priority because it will help me get the bugs worked out quicker.

So what I ask is that you standy and wait for the newest extension.
Then, I will ask you further questions and get this issue resolved quickly.

As another programmer I enjoy hearing the reasons. Very cool.

[cybormatt]

Clown,
I must say, that from programmer to programmer, I respect ya.
You're site is very well guarded.

Oh, and just for your info, I have implemented a debugging feature. It's almost ready for release... just need to put some finishing touches on it.

By the way, since you seem to like Microsoft stuff, you up for a challenge?
Some people have asked for an IE version of the extension. I don't know shit about IE. Interested?

As another programmer I enjoy hearing the reasons. Very cool.

[boxtheclown]

LOL. It's not well guarded enough that your leecher didn't work on it. I had to spend 30 minutes yesterday altering things to break it. :whack0:

I currently have a stand alone program that does much the same thing as your extension (only supports 3 hosts though), which I never thought about doing in a million years. It would be interesting to implement the same thing into IE, but I have to admit I won't have the time for a few weeks.. but I am highly interested.

[cybormatt]

Well, I did spend quite a bit of time learning about some of mozilla's exotic java classes just so I can bypass your strong guard.
My theory is... if the image is there, there is a way to get it. You obviously know how to make it a pain in the ass.

I'm not going to update it to work with btc again. It's not worth the trouble :)

But the initial challenge was good.

Okay, the new version is out.
Go install it... enable the console logging and debugging logs
restart firefox
try to download some images.
go back into the options, copy the log to a local file somewhere...
email it to me. (my email is on the website)

if you got any questions, feel free to ask.

I have implemented the retry number feature in the next version.
I'm still working on some other features, so bare with me.

I tried to do what you said. when I check the boxes, and I restart firefox, the downloading does nothing.
If I check the options again, the boxes are not checked anymore. I don't understand this anymore

[cybormatt]

Please don't let this seem belittling... but did you click "Ok" after checking the two boxes?

[Tailingred01]

Hmm.... there's a striking resemblence in the image host and the users nick.
So is the user mocking the site, or is the site owned by the user?

I will attempt support for boxtheclown.com

We'll see how that goes

So was there something in BTC code that doesn't allow for leeching? Your status window says the pics are being downloaded, but they're really not. I get about 6KB of a .jpg file and that's it.

[cybormatt]

the code did support btc for a brief period of time...
however, the webmaster changed his site to cripple my script.
i've talked w/ him and agreed to not pursue it...
and besides the point, it would be too much work to update it all the time.

sorry

Fair enough. I just wish less people used his host site. I'm sure he's a good guy, just trying to protect his investment and all. Selfishly I wish less people on DS used his image host. Thanks for the attempt and thanks for adding keepmyfile!

[cybormatt]

Who knows,
Perhaps when business picks up for him, he may be willing to allow me to do it without purposely busting my script.

and believe me... someone like me... less pictures for me is not good.
so I'm not exactly happy about the whole thing myself.

[asdfspace]

The new version is great. This is really turning into one of the absolute must-have firefox extensions. Thanks for all your work on it.

FWIW, Boxtheclown broke his site for browsers as well when he modified it to break it for your leech-tool. http://www.boxtheclown.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5

Although it's annoying to have to save images individually, Box's host is very attractive and easy to use in other ways, so I imagine we'll see more and more images hosted there in the future.

[cybormatt]

That makes me laugh.

well shitty drawers.. i have forgotten my own password for these forums.. haha

To answer your question.. yes it looks like my change has caused this issue.. and yes it was in answer to the imagegrabber

Thank you for comment! I don't get enough appreciation for the hard work that I put into the extension. I know that it's not pretty... and the output is a little snaggly... but the important stuff is there. I have worked alot on the algorithms that download these images. I have beat my head endlessly to overcome errors that shouldn't happen, but do. And I think that this is more important than pretty stuff.

I'm not saying I'm not into pretty stuff, but that is second priority. Someday it will look up.

The unfortunate thing is that I will be having to take a break from development during the fall semester (starts August 21st). Only minor changes will be made, maybe if any at all. That's why I need help so desperately to help do the upkeep...

People keep asking for new image host support, and it's not that hard... just a matter of adding a regular expression and a couple of commands. Well, atleast for most hosts.... BTC was an exception.

If someone can do that much, hell, I'd be gratious as hell!

But anyway, I've become long winded :)

[boxtheclown]

FWIW, Boxtheclown broke his site for browsers as well when he modified it to break it for your leech-tool.

This was fixed a couple days after the fact, as you should be able to right/save all day long now. Please let me know if this isn't the case.

As for Matt.. I am really suprised this guy hasn't gotten more praise, which he deserves. I for one have written something very similar to matt's (standalone windows app) that I never released, I wrote it to better understand how to stop leeching before I coded btc. It helped some, but didn't stop it (damn you Matt lol).

With that said, I have now tried the imagegrabber and think.. holy shit is it nice.

I do have some feedback though. When images fail (timeout) it is a bit annoying to have to click "OK" however many times. Can that instead just go to a file, or be an option to fail quietly.

2nd - When leeching a thread (I have yet to add this to my own leecher so I find it funny to request it from you) can you add it to put each post into a subfolder of a page. A lot of posts correspond to one girl. So the subfolders would make it easier to group images back up after leeching.


And as a host I will tell you one way they may start to combat this, as this is one thing I may do myself when I get time. Keep reading if you are bored, try to keep it short.

There is a certain amount of requests per minute from an IP for a full size image that I would think be normal. For discussion sake say 20 images a min. Everytime a request is made the IP is logged with time, and every subsequent request sees if the IP is already logged and adds to the number of hits. So once it sees the window reached (20 hits in 1 min), it stops listening to the requests from that IP while also adding you to a warning list. Might even give you a page that says "HEY BITCH, quit using IMageGrabber!!"... just to teast Matt.


Thanks for a great tool CyborMatt.. my hats off dude.. good luck in school. Doesn't sound like you will need it though.

[cybormatt]

Clown dude,

The latest version, v1.3.2, takes care of the error/retry/timeout issue.
It includes a massive amount of work in that respect. Go check out my page and take a look at the changes I've made.
It's damn near 100% with imagevenue, which at one time it wasn't due to timeouts, errors, and blah. No more clicking okay. That got on my nerves too so it had to go.

Brilliant idea about saving each post into a subfolder....
I will have to give that a try.

The only issue I see there is that it could possibly become to dependent on the style of the forum.

If say for instance, vBulletin puts each post in it's own division, and that division can easily be DOM'd through... that may be fine and dandy...
But let's say I go to some other forum, let's say phpBoard style, (don't even know if that exists), and they use tables instead of divisions... then it would break the whole idea of saving each post to it's subfolder. But, I claim that the threadsucker only works with vBulletin anyway, so what's the difference huh?

Now, on to what you had said about the possible change for your host...
That would be one of the most evil moves you could possibly make....
I would then have to implement a timer, and a randomizer for the leecher.
Yes, I did that once... to make the transfers look human. God bless the linux console!

But may I offer a suggestion... bandwidth throttling.
If an IP starts hogging too much, throttle it down to, say, 100KB/s, or whatever... 50KB/s if you're and ass about it, but hey... that's better than nothing.

I think imagevenue has bandwidth throttling because I notice that sometimes the downloads get slower the more I download. eh....



On another, seperate topic.
Thank you for your praises.
I means something to hear that, and not just from anyone, but from someone who has posed a challenge to me. Because of you, I have learned a great deal about the HTTP protocol, GET and POST methods, setting up HTTP requests, the hard way in javascript, and setting up HTTP requests, the really hard way (like, setting up a transfer tunnel, sending a request header built by the script, not by browser, and posting just the right stuff to recieve the binary digits I so desire)

You should know, however, I will not be releasing BTC support in the future. You won't have to worry about that. But, I like to learn more about things I don't understand, and your site is perfect for that. So don't be surprised if you get alot of connections from my IP.
Any and all knowledge I collect on the workings of your server will stay safe here on my hard drive :)

And school, believe it or not...
I am Mechanical Engineering.
sometimes I can't even believe that I picked that field of study.
but, it's challenging, and interesting so go figure :)

Okay, so this idea has been abandoned for the moment.
the reason is because mozilla doesn't offer any HTML parsing methods from text streams.

The extension uses the XMLHttpRequest which returns a string object with the response. For XML, it returns an optionally DOM'able object. But guess what, do you know anyone using XML.

There is also another approach I've tried... createContextualFragment
But at this moment, anything I try to put into it just spits back "INVALID_BLAH" and shit.

I won't abandon it completely... just gonna work on some other stuff.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, that would probably help

Tata

[chemical]

Please don't let this seem belittling... but did you click "Ok" after checking the two boxes?

I would have if there was an OK to click

[cybormatt]

chemical:

Can you try something for me?

Goto the location bar, type in "about:config", and look for:
extensions.imagegrabber.enableconlog
extensions.imagegrabber.enabledebug


Change the values of both of those to true.

Restart firefox.

It should now have debugging enabled.
Try to download some stuff...

go back to "about:config" and disable those two preferences.
Restart firefox again.

You should now be able to go into the imagegrabber options and copy the log file to a local folder. If not, I can provide you with steps to doing it through "My Computer"

Hope this works.

[cybormatt]

In case you guys haven't noticed, the beta versions of v1.3.4 are out.
It's nice!

[marcus1984]

@ cybormatt

mate all this technical stuff you say goes way over my head..

all i know is that you are my hero for making this image downloader
i thought you stopped working on this program at one point but its great to
see you back.. many thanks

MUCH APPRECIATION

AND RESPECT

LATER dude :)

[Montolio]

my firefox just updated your imagegraber, latest version (1.3.4 i think)
works great so far, nice new design btw

one question: maybe it's possible to add this imagehost to your list?
http://www.**********.net/

[cybormatt]

I know that some of you will not understand a word I say with all the technical jargon. But coming from my standpoint, it is a pet peeve of mine when developers leave out information because people might not understand. So, to set the karma straight with this peeve of mine, I give you the information and if you like it good, if you don't... well good :P

I did disappear for a little while. I was taking 18 hours during the spring semester... and it about killed me. Only taking 14 hours this time around so I'm hopefully going to be able to do small updates here and there.

Most of it will have to wait until the weekends however. During the week is usually bad time for all that.

Montolio... got ya... putting the host on my todo list for the next version :)

[Spike Spiegel]

Wow. For a little while it didn't work for me and then i just never had a reason to actually use it afterwards but i've kept it up to date and using it again now, wow. It looks and works amazing. I'm a lowly A+ Network+ guy and i have no idea how the hell you did any of the shit you did but i love it.

[atlas_69]

just tried it..works perfectly..thanks alot

[cybormatt]

If you are truly curious, I could go into some detail as to how it works.
Basically, it's a combination of AJAX (mostly the XMLHttpRequest class, to make the http connection), HTML DOM (for getting the links from the current page), extensive usage of regular expressions (for getting links with the thread sucker, and for getting the image from the target host), and the WebBrowserPersist class (for actually saving the image). Then it's a matter of doing this process for every image that you want to save. In the past, it worked on a giant loop, but now it works on a semi-event driven concept.

For boxtheclown, I had to use the ioservice class to create a channel because the XMLHttpRequest class was doing some funky stuff.

For myspace, I had to create a io stream and manually create the http headers to get images on other pages besides the current page. ASP.NET is practically satan in a web server :P

perhaps that was a little verbose for your taste... but eh... that was fairly simplified. The actual process has a bit more complexities to it.

Glad you like it and positive (or constructive) comments are always appreciated :)

I believe good times are what you might have after successfully using the extension... :P

[Teeny_Tiny_Boyshorts]

This program has been fantastic, thanks so much Matt.

If I could give you a hug I would. Perhaps a small monetary donation in the near future? I would say yes. Give me a few weeks. :banana:

The program is free... well, licensed under the GPL... still free...
I don't take monetary donations... for various reasons... but just think of it as me returning the favor of me leeching so many goodies.

I appreciate the positive comments, as always :)

happy pr0ning

[Teeny_Tiny_Boyshorts]

Using your wonderful piece of software for a while tonight and thought I would mention two features I would love to see sometime.

1. The option for creating a sub-dir with document title inside the target directory is excellent, but what would really rock is another option such as "Create a sub-dir with RANDOM title inside the directory." Or maybe an option for created the sub-dir name by using a user created template; such as newpics001, newpics002, etc. (newpics###) This would work really well if in conjunction with using the IG toolbar button.

2. Context Menu button that would Grab All Pics On Page (without bringing up the Download Directory box), while creating a new sub-dir as mentioned above.

[cybormatt]

Yes, these are good ideas.
I can't promise I can implement anything for the next few weeks as school has a hold of me on the nutsack!

But I'll add these to my todo list.

On the side note, there's an option to supress the download directory box. don't know ifyou alreday knew that or not.

Matt

[deyamonte]

just tried this tool on ********, works GREAT! you might want to add that bit of info to your download page, because a lot of people won't be sure it works on ******** since they frame the page. this download is totally brilliant, i'm in your debt

[Maverickus]

This tool is the shit man! Awesome, great work, I've been looking for something like this forever.
Thanks a lot cybormatt!

[JonestownTea]

I want to thank you for this.

[messyrech]

do you guys have anuthing for opera?

[wanker125]

there was a stand alone tool called ipled but it quit working. been looking for a replacement.

[tekdee]

OMG!!! REALLY NICE TOOL CYBORMATT

I was hoping something like that. THX REALLY!!

[NYCGuy2]

WOW! Awesome plug-in. Thanks!

[cybormatt]

Just so everyone knows... this is the first time that I've checked this thread in a long while. Thanks to everyone with the positive comments. In case anyone wants to try a standalone program, there's one called "pagescavenger". I am working with the author to get our two programs to use the same hosts! Anyway, thought I would share the love back!

Matt

[boxtheclown]

Good to hear. Now that it is summer you should have time to get this flying again eh?

[DentzFTW]

Is anyone else having trouble with firefox 3 and this add-on? It doesn't work on several sites that it used to.

[cybormatt]

BTC, indeed, I have got it flying as well.

DentzFTW, what are some examples of sites not working anymore?

[DentzFTW]

I just updated to FF3 and updated to the latest version of your add on (1.4.1). Now, any sites that use an anonymous filter on links like
http://anonym.to/?
no longer work with this tool. Older versions used to work on links with this filter.

[cybormatt]

Ah, yes this issue has been addressed.
I am in the progress of releasing the next beta version which will have the fix for this. I'll try to get it up before I leave the states.

One last thing... I ask that anyone who reads this thread, from now on, email me with suggestions and bug reports. Please try to retain this area for comments that would be helpful for others. Nice comments are always welcome :)

I will try to read this area time to time but when my schedule is full, I will be lacking on my forum duties.

a very big thanks for this nice tool, but just one thing, since i use the 1.4.2 ( cause the beta dont work for me) the autorenaiming system doesn"'t worf fully. it let me five numbers at the start of the photo's name, so after it's not in order. is the anyway to correct this ?
Thanks by advance

[sannin]

even with the most recent version i can't seem to download pictures from myspace

[titlover]

seems ******** is also not working anymore :-/

[orochimaru]

theres a lot of issues that img grabber does not work. a lot of the filters go to the site and place the files within a flash file or there is an intermediate step forcing user to wait or click on a link to advance.

[orochimaru]

there are more examples but i'm not sure which problems are with which. i'm not sure if anyone has these same issues or example that i have. anyways will list in the following.

Here are some of the filters and some are combo filters out there that may be causing image grabber to freeze. Also I've notice there is a ad page or time delay page preceding the main page too.

The following are examples where image grabber does not work:

1. http://linkcover.com/?http://www.imagevenue.com << (click on) continue to your image

2. http://linkcover.com/?http://anonym.to/?http://www.anywhere.com

3. http://lix .in/-somealphanum rem space

4.http://link-protector .com/somenumber/ rem space

Exactly how can this program be used? Like can I use it to see pictures on a private profile on myspace that I'm normally not allowed into (or cannot see their albums)?

Hey i have image grabber 1.4.2 using firefox 3.0.5 and i am having some trouble when i say get all images from this page, or even when i am tring to get from a whole thread. What happenes is i click on the button choose where on my computer i want them to be saved and then it brings up the box that should show them downloading however in the status bar at the bottom left of that box it just says running.... This stays the same until i get bored and close it. Could someone pleaseeee help me!

Special Request:

Would love to be able to "Suck the Current Thread" and have images from each post saved into their own folder.

I know working on your program takes a lot of effort, but if you're looking for new features and are into it, this would kick ass.

Otherwise, excellent program, I use it all the time.

I also use it all the time, but at the mo it doesn't seem to work with 3.1 beta 2. It just sits and doesn't do anything but status says running!

[booti]

[webslave]

It works like a charm! To imagine I used to save pics, singlely! What a time saver. Still learning the filehost codes !!!! fr*gg*ng naught !

[Enkill]

This addons is fantastic! Thanks!

[yespar00]

Cy do you have a list of Image Hosts?

[webslave]

Or, download this,,,convert to text document with NotePad.

I'm helping cybormatt to add new hosts these days. There's a new host file on cybormatt's website: http://cybormatt.googlepages.com/

A few more hosts will be added soon.

[webslave]

Thank you kindly web surfer,,,your certainly helping !!! Big Thanks !

[ChrisLHanssen069]

Chris, I'll send the list to you, in text via private message/email.

Please resend. Thanks.

[webslave]

Chris, go here, scroll down to where you see imagehosts. There's a good amount there. For more, download the latest filehost file. Use NotePad open.

Would it be possible to add Picasa to the Hostfile? Or maybe the RSS feed for Picasa galleries? Picasa software doesn't work with PowerPC Macs like mine so I need an alternative. Thanks for imagehostgrabber, it's a great tool.

[web_surfer]

I'll try to add Picasa. I'm having some problems with that website, but I think I can make it work.

[shazzy]

Holy crap why have I only just found out about this.

If I were a woman you could have me. Great one.

[cybormatt]

buah ha ha... wish more women said that to me ;)

[web_surfer]

Picasa added: http://rapidshare.com/files/239683174/hostf_1Jun09_mod.xml

I had problems with it 'cause I was making a stupid mistake :nutter:

[cybormatt]

Nice work chap! If you knew how many "stupid" mistakes I made that I beat my head over... well, I won't go there :P

[Gordo9]

Thanks web_surfer for the quick response. It works, but there are complications. It only downloads a 1600px preview sized image. Full resolution images seem to have a d before the file name in the URL. Another complication is that there seem to be several Picasa servers. I was able to get it to work with the German Picasa by changing the com to de.

[web_surfer]

Ok, I think I fixed the two problems.
