imageboard-downloader-rs is a command-line multi image gallery downloader made in Rust with a very simple, yet extensible API.
It is a cross-platform tool with speed, simple cli interface and multiple simultaneous downloads as its main focus.
imageboard_downloader_rs has a hardcoded limit of 100 pages per download session to prevent API rate-limiting and put less strain on the imageboard's servers.
⚠ Avoid downloading single tag selections that span ~100k posts alone without using the download limiter. Be reasonate!
