Is there software that will download a list of images?

[Moon54]

Hi,

I've been trying to download a selection of images that are on a particular site.
I can type the url of each image directly into the browser and see the image, then
I can manually save each image that I want. However, the image directory itself is .htaccessed
so I can't see the folder list of all the images (that would be too easy ).

I was wondering if anyone knows of a program that will take a Text List of images
as input and go and download them all?

I tried programs like FlashGet and several Firefox extentions but none seem to do what I want.

Thanks in advance.

you could do this with practically any scripting language and wget

HTTrack Website Copier - Offline Browser

this will do it, just not the specific way you want it done

yep what hwy24 said, wget in php.

Great tips, thanks nachoninja & hwy24.

I went with doing it using wget. Wow, it's a great package.
I had messed around with JWhois project before, so it was kinda familar.

Here's what I did;
A quick search with Google got me to the GNUWin32 project page where
I downloaded the wget .exe installer package.
Having installed it, i then added a line to the Path variable for
windows and used the command prompt to run it.

The command I used was pretty simple;

wget -w 1 -i imageurls.txt

, where the -w 1 is the wait in seconds between downloads.

Worked flawlessy, cheers for that. .
It's definitely a powerful bit of software.

Dont think this works for your method of using a text list, but for page specific ripping i use

1. Firefox
2. addon called "download them all"

I use it all the time to rip images from merchant sites.
