wget works again. i dont know if Laney wants me to keep it a secret, but for anyone whos wondering, you can just download these threads all at once without clicking on every image. point powershell or whatever you use into the folder you want, and enter this for just the images:
wget -nd -r -l 1 -A jpeg,jpg,png,webp,avif,jp2,tif,tiff -e robots=off
or this for just the videos:
wget -nd -r -l 1 -A webm,mp4,mov,mkv,qt,avi,ts,mpg -e robots=off
you can also combine the two, but i like to keep vids and pics in separate folders. the best part is it doesnt overwrite any files with the same name. so if you want to update your files, just run the commands again and make sure you dont rename any of them
