>managed to lose the main drive with all the pictures on it by being a retardWonderful, seems like it's becoming a holiday tradition 2 years running that I am a colossal retard, fuck something up and am forced to reinstall my OS.
Oh well, at least this means I can start again and try to be better organized than last time.
I have been meaning to make a post like this for a while, so I will do it now, a list of software and self respecting /c/ user should have.
https://github.com/Bionus/imgbrd-grabberThis is what I use for batch downloading files from danbooru. It can work with most of the booru's and you can search any tag and download it, either singles, by page, or you can get all of it with a single click.
Unfortunately this one seems to not be avaliable anymore but the Pixiv Batch Downloader extension on chrome had to be probably the most useful one. It makes it actually tolerable to use pixiv as a source for images. You could download either an artists entire library of works, or you could select one of the tags and download the entirety of that.
I don't know if this is applicable to windows, but this is a command that you can put into the terminal and download all the files from a thread, this is what I used to download the contents of any thread I had interest in.
This is just an example for this thread in specific, if you want to use it on a different thread, or a different board, just replace the link at the end with the one of the desired thread.
>wget -P pictures -nd -r -l 1 -H -D is2.4chan.org -A png,gif,jpg,jpeg,webm http://boards.4channel.org/c/thread/3556946#bottomSince I'll have to do it again anyways, I'll download all the Girls Und Panzer tag on danbooru and upload the folder onto mega or sukebei to save anyone interested the effort of trying to set it up on their own.
