Regardless of thread, board, script location, drive letter, attribute, or host machine the script returns "Something went wrong" and times out after several tries. Above picture showing different threads and boards and different attribute flags, all three failing almost immediately. Interestingly however it works fine on an arch install. I've tried it on two machines running Windows 10, reinstalled python 3 as well Not entirely sure why it's dropping almost immediately on Windows. Assume this is a Windows problem, but nothing changed since I used it yesterday. will close if I find a solution to using it on windows. sorry there isn't much information to go off of.

I've run into a few issues with filenames. One of them isn't entirely Windows specific, and I have an idea of what needs to be done to fix it, but no idea how to. Duplicate filenames within a thread simply overwrite any preceding files. Usually Spoiler_Image or file.png.

The other issue is Windows specific and I've managed to solve it at least locally by:

from django.utils.text import get_valid_filename
...snip...
                img_path = ntpath.join(directory, get_valid_filename(img))
...snip...

The issue in question, filenames like this used to make the script halt on Windows:

After importing it appears to work.

How to reproduce:

1° Try to download from this link: https://boards.4chan.org/gif/thread/13521437

This error appears

File TTT Part 2 Top Tier Titties \1527053877481.webm from https://i.4cdn.org/gif/1536882732639.webm UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURRED [WinError 183] cannot create an existing file: 'C:\\Users\\mario\\4channer\\TTT Part 2 Top Tier Titties '

But the "TTT Part 2 Top Tier Tittiles" and the two .webm files doens't exist. Using a custom folder location doens't work.

Hi! Just downloaded your script but every file downloaded is corrupt. I picked a random thread https://boards.4chan.org/b/thread/573855146/pink-ids-will-have-pink-eye-for-the-rest-of-their, but also tried with some more with same result.

Is there any kind of logging i can enable to help you sort this out, if you're not experiencing the same problem?

Cheers! Luca

i want all the images of a certian tag to go into just one folder instead of each individual one, is there a way to do that? also is there a feature to autodownload threads in the queue text file when one appears

Hey, i would like to propose a Logo for the readme header and maybe even as icon for a PyQt GUI-version if that one ever gets a go. I have altered the original 4chan Logo.

I guess I miss something very simple, but cannot figure it out, so here goes nothing

I followed the instructions to in README.md and typed

$ python inb4404.py http://boards.4chan.org/w/thread/2096591/lain-thread-anyone-have-any-arisu

The only result was:

File "inb4404.py", line 129 print(line.replace(link, '-' + link), end='') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

And I'm too dumb to know if this is a typo to fix or I should use a different URL (direct one to the first pic in thread maybe?).

(After hundreds of shameful edits): also the output points at end='' equation, but for love of god I have no idea how to paste it here so markdown does not cut out all spaces.

The 2to3 tool should automate this as far as possible. I think the script should be converted to python3 because this is the new standard, support for python2 will be dropped in near future.

The script keeps "checking" the first post of the thread specified as thread_link

I'm using python 2.7.13, script doesn't work with python 3 because of an error at line 73.

Single thread and multiple thread (using a file) works just fine, but the script is unable to reload the file and update the queue properly as of now.

I added a lot between commits, which was a mistake, but the rundown is that I re-worked the threaded downloads.

Previously each 4chan thread would get its own process to check and download new images. I created a queue (manager.list) system and made static workers/processes. By default, 4 will be created, but that is configurable with -p. As 'jobs' are pulled from the queue, a worker thread will work on it, then wait until another job is available to pull from the queue.

Let me know if you have any questions or want me to change anything.

Thanks!
