Downloader for media submissions to reddit.com. Supports both subreddits and users.
Fork of reddit-dl.
Download binaries from github releases or compile it yourself with:
mkdir -p ./bin && go build -o ./bin/reddit-img-dl .
reddit-dl downloads images/videos in a database like structure, with thousands of deep nested subfolders and non-sensical filenames. Its meant for archival, with metadata stored in a sqlite database. This structure is a pain in the ass if you want to browse via a file manager or gallery app/webapp and it's almost impossible to find something without consulting the metadata db.
Changes:
- Fixed and added support for some image/gif hosts.
- Downloads all files in a single folder, instead of nested folders chosen according to afew digits of the image's id.
- All images have the post title in the filename so it's easy to search them from a file manager.
- Ability to download top posts instead of recent posts.
If you want to archive subreddits, then I'd recommend the upstream project.
