That's awesome - I wouldn't of figured all that out in a million years!

Although grabbing an album is great, how would I go about grabbing all the albums from a user in one go?

Many thanks

for download a user's album, just change start URL to user's album category page URL, and add ;/album/\w+$ to the end of Page URL Include Filters

I already upgraded the .plt file, please download it for new task.
for the task already exist, just change HTML Parser Script to:

if (string.find(HTML.Url,'/fullsize/')) then
local s,e=string.find(HTML.Content,'so.addVariable%b()');
if (s and e) then
local c=string.sub(HTML.Content,s+15,e-1);
s,e=string.find(c,'http%b:\'');
if (s and e) then
local url=string.sub(c,s,e-1);
AddLink(url,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,1);
end;
end;
else
DefaultParser(HTML.Content, HTML.Url, HTML.Title, HTML.TaskID, HTML.Level);
end;
