ImageHost Grabber Description

A Firefox add-on that lets you easily manage and share images Many forums and blogs do not have the capacity to store images on their own servers. Instead, posters are required to use a third-party host to share images. There are many free image hosts on the web, such as imagevenue, imagebam, and imageshack, that can help you when it comes to sharing images. However, these image hosts do not give direct links to stored images but links to some html pages that encapsulate the images. If you want to save an entire gallery of images that are hosted on these image hosts, simple tools like "wget" and "downthemall" will not suffice (at least not without some serious scripting).ImageHost Grabber (IHG) is a powerful utility that makes the task of downloading these galleries a simple task. You can think of it as ImageHost Grabber doing all the work of "open new link, right-click, save-as". But the functionality of IHG doesn't stop there.ImageHost Grabber can automatically create the directories for you, and even prefix file names and directories so that images you download can be sorted chronologically and be sorted by the original page order. Years of research of download failure recovery has been implemented into ImageHost Grabber to ensure all available images are downloaded properly. If that wasn't enough, IHG can even save a session to try again later. IHG also includes a special feature for forums that will allow you to download an entire thread of images. And last, but not least, IHG uses multiple downloads to increase the download rate of the galleries. ImageHost Grabber includes a host file editor so that you can implement a new image host that is not already included. Details on doing this can be found in the "Host File Manual" located on the ImageHost Grabber website.
