Scraping images from a site

#1

So you get to a site with a great gallery... how are you grabbing the images?
Any good "free-ware" out there that lets you just browse the gallery while it captures all the images for you and saves them to a folder? Even better, any "free-ware" out there that will just go out and collect the gallery for you while you browse somewhere else? What are you guys using?

Example of said gallery..? I don't have many freewares outside of Firefox, but there's a nifty program I have in resources I believe, that will rip any site...

These work good. The unregistered version is fully functional but has a time delay upon startup.
Only works on HTML links. Does not work on JavaScript, Flash, etc.
For windows only.

QuadSucker/Web is the ultimate tool for downloading images from the World-Wide-Web. Multithreaded design rapidly spiders and downloads entire websites with ease! QuadWeb is also available in a high-performance alternative, UltraSucker/Web that drops the thumbnails, but has 12 parallel threads.

There is some other stuff on his main site

Unfortunately, he has not updated the site in a long time, maybe has abandoned the site.

It was harder searching for the particular downloader I use, but I did, however, find a great reference of a myriad of options you could go with at the following link. :D

I personally wanted to recommend IIID & IIIU for downloading and uploading image galleries respectively. The last time I recommended it to someone was about two weeks ago, and I think I referred them to a russian site where the download was hosted, but I cannot recall the exact address anymore. It should be in the article above, I'd venture.

P.S. For the three months or so I used IPLED for imagevenue gals, it worked fine, but it stopped working for me about a year and a half ago; I haven't tried it since, so I'd recommend avoiding that one service.
