Thanks for these tools! I use TumblrThree (although I haven't had an opportunity to actually rip a Tumblr).  There's a different tool that I use for Instagram which is really easy to use.  If anyone is intsrested, I can find the name for you.

Share that insta app - I don't really use it - but I might start to as I've heard there's good content  albeit perhaps not the most easies to find. Twitter is also amazing

Best Reddit crawler

DownloaderForReddit

The Downloader for Reddit is a GUI application with some advanced features to extract and download submitted content from reddit.

https://github.com/MalloyDelacroix/DownloaderForReddit

Downloader for Reddit is a GUI application for downloading content submitted to reddit. It has many advanced features and customizable settings to extract only content that you want and avoid duplicate downloads (if you so choose).

The two list windows are where users (left) and subreddits (right) will be displayed after they are entered. To add users or subreddits to the list you must first create a list name by right-clicking the drop down boxes under the corresponding windows. When you run the downloader, only the lists that are displayed in the combo boxes will be downloaded. The checkboxes under each list dictate which list will be downloaded. Checking both will download only user content that is posted to the subreddits in the subreddit list.

What I use to download everything from an Instagram user account

[bakersman94]

hey rudric, i have never been very knowledgeable about apps and the like!! so i tend to stay away from them unless someone talks about it and offers the link to install it. i tried reading about the 3 apps you offered here, and i`m afraid they are a tad over my head!! with love from Wes!! hugs!!! 

 

to Joel, i also have saved an entire users pics fro their instagram page. the first time i tried, i was told by a friend what to do, but not too long after i saved pics of hunks from their instagram, something changed, and now i can only save a small amount of their pics at a time. i can take hours to save all the pics from any given instagram now!! there was a time, where if you scrolled down to the very last pic, clicked on the pic, pic, then right clicked and selected save target as or words to the effect, the action would save everything in one shot. with love from Wes!! hugs!!!

@bakersman94 do you use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?  There are probably some plugins that you can install that will do one-click download.  

[bakersman94]

i use Google Chrome!! it is my go to browser for everything except java. i have to install java with mozilla firefox. with love from Wes!! hugs!!!

This is quite good & easy extension to download multiple images at once from websites:

Thanks I'll give it a try, always on the lookout for better tools!

Interesting tool collection over here, thank you. 😊

Although I might be a little later for the tumblr one but maybe it avoids the blocking of NSFW, who knows. Anyone tried it after?
