4Chan Thread Downloader


4chan4chan is one of the most popular bulletin boards on the Internet that is used for discussions but also photo and image posting. The 4Chan Downloader was designed by its developer to allow users to download specific 4Chan threads -to be more specific photos and images posted in those threads – to the local computer system.

This is the main difference to 4Chan Grabber which we reviewed earlier this year which allowed users to download all photos and images of a selected 4Chan forum to the computer system. The 4Chan Downloader is therefor for users who do not want to download all photos or images from a forum but only selected ones from threads that they specify.

The downloader is ready for use after a quick installation. It consists of five interactive interface elements. The two forms can be used to paste the url of the 4Chan thread and to specify the download location on the local computer. The other three are buttons that can start the download, perform a check or open the folder containing the images.

The program will automatically create a folder based on the thread number at 4Chan to avoid ending up with a massive amount of unsorted photos and pictures if multiple threads are downloaded. 4Chan Downloader should be compatible with most versions of the Windows operating system. It can be downloaded at the developer’s website.

    Wow, you guys are fast. I just made this app a little while ago. And you already picked it up and wrote about it.

    I’m impressed.

    Love it!

    Ohh well, if he does mean portable. I can add a setting to the app that makes it if you check it, it will disable the save path and use the application directory.

    It’s that easy. Martin, is that a feature you would like as well?

      Landmine I think there is a group of users who prefer portable apps over those that need to be installed. So, if it is not a problem for you I suggest you offer both versions :)

    Not a problem at all. I’ll work on it and hopefully have 2 editions as of tomorrow 3pm PST

    Thanks for the suggestions
