e6dl

"I don't care about any of this, just take me to the downloads"

This is a command line tool for downloading posts that match certain tags on e621 or e926.

It does basically the same thing as this tool except it was written in Go and the output is a lot less pretty.

It supports concurrently downloading posts, and you can set a maximum number of workers that should be downloading at a time.

I made this because I wanted to rewrite one of my previous projects in Go, so I decided to start with this one since it's a pretty small and simple command line tool that encapsulates a lot of concepts in the language (type definition, imports, goroutines, standard libraries, slices, to name a few).

Installing, Building, etc.

See here since it uses the same Makefile.

Example

Here's a situation that uses every flag:

If you wanted to download a maximum of 20 posts with the tag pokemon in random order from e926 to the directory ./posts with a maximum of 2 downloading at a time:

e6dl --tags "pokemon order:random" --out ./posts --limit 20 --concurrents 2 --sfw
