Hi all,

i need to download some pictures from image hosting sites. i know about IDM site grabber. the problem is that the image is embedded in a second page, from the thumbnail page. how do i configure IDM to download the pics, all at once?? or maybe a script??

i tried configuring the child site thing during setting up Site Grabber, but it takes a helluva lot time... sometimes with no result.

if you still dont get the problem, its like this: the image thumbs are in one page, and clicking on a thumbnail img takes us to a child page containing the original image. now, to dl all those images, i'd have to open each thumbnail individually and then save the image. its a whole lot of problem.

anyway to automate the process will be greatly appreciated. :)

PS: i found this. *www.scratchinginfo.com/file-uploader-downloader-php-scripts/
will check it out when i reach home..

If you mean to say that the first page contains only the thumbnails and the second page contains the desired images, you may capture all images upto 2 levels. Unless there are thousands of thumbnails, the size won't be a considerable percent of the total download.
