4chan (Xchan) thread image downloader
DESCRIPTION
[25/01/2014]
Current version: XChan 2.5B
- Due to .NET framework being shitty and downloading empty images I added a checking function that auto deletes the file and re-downloads them
- Added a board downloader
There's probably bugs somewhere, but use it properly and you shouldn't encounter any.
P.S - This is most probably the last update I'll make on this project.
[30/11/2013]
Current version: XChan 2.5
Here's the tl;dr:
I'm a lazy guy, 4chan changed its source so I eventually had to update the program.
I've rewritten it in C# and added multithreading (each thread is downloaded on a seperate process thread).
I haven't had any time to actually test for bugs so apologies for that.
Lastly, this is working with 4chan ONLY at the moment. I might update it and add other boards later.
A final note: Any version prior to 2.5 will not work with 4chan (I cannot confirm about the other boards as I no longer use them)
Features
