4chanscraper is an extensible, well-written, and (hopefully) easy to use scraper and optionally browser for the 4chan imageboard.

4chanscraper features:

• Automatic scraping of all boards on 4chan.
• A easy-to-use database creator to simplify the process of beginning to scrape.
• A simple GUI which also includes thread-view and fullview modes.

It is designed to simplify the process of /rar/ing individual threads, and even supports creating an archive from a thread once it has been fully downloaded.

4chanscraper was written with the bandwidth and HDD space -concious in mind, and as such gives you the option to only download the images from the threads you choose, and to perform metadata-only scrapes.

In addition to scraping images, 4chanscraper will also save the associated text which was posted along with the image, and this is all saved in an easily browsable database and folder structure.

Download Visual Studio 2010 and compile it yourself. Or try to find a binary release.

But you won't find one.

If you're not already using it you probably won't ever be.
