PANDA RESTORATION PROJECT

i've noticed a lot of people seem to be having trouble saving from sadpanda, and are resorting to page-by-page saving, which is obviously not ideal.
since the shitstorm happened I have devised a method that allows for simplified BATCH DOWNLOADING that I think needs to be shared with all of you to expedite the process.

WHAT YOU NEED:
> downthemall
> nhentai website
> http://onlinetexttools.com/Generate-List-of-Sequential-Numbers.html
> an open notepad txt file

A lot of the galleries that are missing from sadpanda seem to still be up on nhentai.


nhentai conveniently stores all their gallery jpgs by "1-2-3-4.jpg"
for example:
http://i.nhentai.net/galleries/457850/1.jpg
http://i.nhentai.net/galleries/457850/2.jpg
http://i.nhentai.net/galleries/457850/3.jpg

This allows us to use the above sequential number website along with any nhentai gallery image url to create a batch download for downthemall to execute.

THE METHOD
> right click - copy image location on any thumnail for any nhentai gallery
> paste result MINUS jpg bit on sequential numbers page
> add ".jpg" after numbers
> ex: "http://i.nhentai.net/galleries/457850/" + ### + ".jpg"
> enter number of images in the gallery
> generate list of numbers and paste into blank .txt file
> import .txt file into downthemall
> use "*inum*.*ext*" to save images with a clean 001, 002, 003 etc naming

WARNING: some galleries have PNG files which give you 404 error
this can be solved by simply replacing all ".jpg" with ".png" on your txt file and re-importing the batch into downthemall

godspeed friends, happy saving
with a little bit of practice you can save a gallery every 30 seconds
