    1. @oracle Oh you have no idea how annoying it was to download all of ponibooru via torrent. the torrent file itself was MBs large because they didn't archive anything. just 100s of 1000s of individual files.

    2. @oracle Aye. I'll gladly swap data if you want. I've even chunked the downloaded files into multiple conveniently sized archives. I have the original names and windows compatible names.

    3. @oracle However, mind that Ponibooru's higher-rated (more popular) images were all transferred to Derpibooru after it shut down, so you'll be acquiring duplicates of a lot of stuff. There is, however, a very substantial part which is unique and not on Derpibooru.

    4. @oracle You are currently downloading Derpibooru. I have downloaded Ponibooru's safe, unrated, and questionable images.

    5. @oracle Ponibooru is the predecessor to Derpibooru (owned by different people which decided to cooperate when Ponibooru shut itself down).

    6. @oracle I assume it's an automated program used to download a site or rip part of its contents. I've used generic free programs like HTTracker that do this.

    7. @oracle yeah. Sounds like what I've used, though my experience is outdated.
