Images from phpbb3now forum

[Timur]

I've been using FlashGot for a long time, but I've discovered Build Gallery only recently.

I'm looking for a way to download images from phpbb3now forum. Books that I'd like to download are scanned as images page-by-page and posted in multiple-page forums. Images are really hosted on
imageshack.us. Additionally, forum is in Bosnian (similar to Croatian/Serbian) language.
Here is the sample forum link:

I can use Build Gallery to get forum links (http://bosniainfocentar.phpbb3now.com/v ... 644&start=[0-85;5]) but how can I get jpg images from those links?

I don't think build gallery is going to help?
There is no pattern to the imageshack links.

Though since the the images are displayed in full in each thread, if you were to filter on JPEG, you could FlashGot All & pick up everything pertinent without much waste.

> FlashGot Option | Downloads -> File Extensions => JPEG JPG ==> Apply file extension filter to batch downloads too.

Now you would have to "flip" each page & FlashGot All, so still not a particularly good solution.

Perhaps a "spider" that you can set a base URL, a filter pattern (*.jpg), & ...?

Perhaps a program like these (untested); Forum Downloader or The Image Collector?

I couldn't get Cascades Forum Downloader v2.1 to work and The Image Collector doesn't support imageshack. I tried PicaLoader, it should probably work, but I couldn't find how.
I also couldn't use > FlashGot Option | Downloads -> File Extensions => JPEG JPG ==> Apply file extension filter to batch downloads too.

What I did was:
I used Build Gallery to get all links on a single page. Then I used "Save Images" Firefox extension to open all those links and then to save images from all tabs. It's a little bit around but works.
What I got was a bunch of image files, without proper names, so at the end, I had to rename some of them to get it right. If someone has better idea for all this..
