How to download pictures from deviantART with PicaLoader

How to download pictures from deviantART with PicaLoader.

Get the PicaLoader script at: http://forum.vowsoft.com/post6448.html#p6448

Btw, as you may have seen I have the trial version. That's because, if you uninstall PicaLoader and click "no" when it asks you if you want to keep registration information, your trial period is reset when you install again ;P

does it works with bigger images?

[angryzor]

@abbad0n i'm not entirely sure what you mean. it should work with images of any size

[heinz1357]

Great script, thanks!

Sadly it stops after ~970 pictures with downloading, the links get added to the queue but not downloaded.

[angryzor]

@HighlyOptimystique if you get any positive results from your endeavours, could you please let me know? i might want to add that to my download script then...

[HighlyOptimystique]

@angryzor To be honest I found out that only 255 combinations exist, because the dA uses hex system in the link particularly in the last two letters between slashes right before each filename. But none of the links work, I still dont know why. Oh BTW... pilfer for firefox is your friend.

[angryzor]

@HighlyOptimystique haha, though that would probably work eventually, with the length of dA's filenames it would probably take you over 100 years to try them all (not kidding)

[HighlyOptimystique]

@angryzor Damn! I wasted about an hour trying to hack someones account by batching all the possible links, like I did for photobucket. Deviantart is surely well secured.

@SchRitaChannel hehe np :p, I use 1.71 trial

@HighlyOptimystique Then it downloads the largest size it can download, i.e. it downloads the picture you get when you zoom in on it.

What if an image is private? I mean it was uploaded in the original size but the user disabled downloading.
