A tool that crawls a subreddit, downloads images

Hacker News

This is a tool I coded in AutoIt that crawls a Subreddit RSS and finds images to download. If the link leads to a gallery, it crawls that gallery for other images. This is intended for private use only. I don't want you to vacuum pictures off the various image boards this program crawls and call them your own and blame it all on me. Just use it if you want to get cool wallpapers every day or something that's not copyright infringing. Source is included this time. Yes it's a mess, yes I didn't use switch(), yes I should have added more comments and I should name my variables better. And yes, I should put more things into functions. But I wrote it iteratively from a 10 line program I came up with late at night and by the time I was finished, it was 4:30 early morning. The list of URLs to fetch is in sitelist.txt Add your own there. Download it here: https://sites.google.com/site/bryanbottebell/bryan-bottebell-s-projects/RedditImageGrab.zip
