Glad Garv set this up.

As usual I will be making sure my site is popup and virus free. If you find this to not be true, please let me & Garv know. As if it wasn't true, I would not be a trusted site here.

I fixed the service that was running the zip downloads. Not sure why it took a shit.

I would like to address one thing, it seems lately we have had certain individuals attack my site. I believe they have alternative motives in doing so. I only brought the site online when imagebeaver was taking a shit.. to see if I could do it. I'm not a pro at it believe me, but I just want a place were we can all go and not worry about shit getting onto our machines.

I will continue to do the best I can, and again. Please contact me if you have any suggestions and/or problems.

FYI

Cybormatt's imagegrabber tool once again works with boxtheclown.

I changed it to allow for it. I can't promise this will be forever as I have to watch the loads on the server... because to be honest. This can be quite harsh on a server when several people are downloading huge threads.

So I highly suggest you just download the zips instead. :P

Zips are going strong. Worked out some of the kinks.

Not 100% of the galleries have zips yet, but will soon.

When following a thumbnail from a site, btc will no longer prompt for age verification.

It does prompt for the main page though, and cookies still must be enabled. Will fix that when I'm a bit more sober.

Box...
I must have included the box file with my last update. Ooops...
I remember on our last conversation I had said that I would take box out of my program. But I made a box module for my own personal use.

As always, I have been telling people to click a thumb and an ad from time to time. But I can't force anyone. I hope they take my words to heart.

Anyhow, good work on the site lately bro!

Oh, and one more thing... let me know if you want me to take the box module out of any future releases. All you need to do to break it (temporarily atleast), is change the image url.

Keep in mind though, I have been talking with other people who have been discussing your site. What you would probably like to know is that they've been asking me how I managed to get support for your site. I told them the truth: I happened to make it work by chance.

Anyway, I tell you only because you might see increased traffic coming from these other downloaders. You might not.

Ciao

No worries cybormatt. You can keep it in the program. I have removed the code that makes it difficult for the auto-downloaders.

I should have a test site, because I have code written that will make it very difficult for any auto-downloader to work. In fact, if somehow it it circumvented... it forces that IP to a crawl. ha....

Of course I'm in it to keep the shit free. As long as free doesn't mean money out of my pocket.

Nice to see ya back and doing well.

[cybormatt]

Yeah, I think the idea of forcing the IP to a crawl is the best way to handle downloaders. But on the flip side, if it is ridiculous crawls, then it's a bit insane. I think 40kBs to 100kBs is enough to satisfy the auto downloaders. Well, it would satisfy me anyway. I just want something automated that will download reliably while I am sleeping, or looking at other pictures. The idea of "follow link, right-click, save-as" I mean that sucks so so bad!

Hell, I'd even put up with some timers on the gallery download links... and maybe a bandwidth limit per half-hour or whatever. Just don't make me do that boring manual labor stuff.

Anyway, I'm ranting. If you would like, I can put your test site to the test. I'd be willing to give a few helpful pointers
