--no_gui auto      No GUI mode. (headless mode) Acceleration for full_resolution mode, but unstable on thumbnail mode.
                   Default: "auto" - false if full=false, true if full=true

                   Every thread will randomly choose one from the list.

Full Resolution Mode

You can download full resolution image of JPG, GIF, PNG files by specifying --full true

Data Imbalance Detection

Detects data imbalance based on number of files.

When crawling ends, the message show you what directory has under 50% of average files.

I recommend you to remove those directories and re-download.

Remote crawling through SSH on your server

sudo apt-get install xvfb <- This is virtual display

sudo apt-get install screen <- This will allow you to close SSH terminal while running.

screen -S s1

Xvfb :99 -ac & DISPLAY=:99 python3 main.py

Customize

You can make your own crawler by changing collect_links.py

Issues

As google site consistently changes, please make issues if it doesn't work.
