stripedtiger had posted an article about this site: 250+ Completed Mangas, but the attachement can't be access now:(

We have to do every thing by ourself:

First, create a new project for download mangas from this site only:
Run PicaLoader, select Create a new empty project, then press OK, enter Project's name and target folder, if you wanna PicaLoader create a folder for each manga, select Create a subfolder for each task.

Second, enter project's default options:
Uncheck Support J/VB/JavaScript
Page URL Include Filters:/[\d\.-]+/$;/\d+-\w+/$
Picture URL Include Filters:/mangas/\d+/\d+/[\d-]+\.jpg;/mangas/\d+/\d+/\d+-\w+\.jpg

OK! now you can open the category page http://www.onemanga.com/directory/ with IE, drag the manga that you want download and drop to PicaLoader's drop box, PicaLoader will create a new task for you, just press OK button.

Now you can press Start button and enjoy your mangas:)

Hi, i'm new here and i found this topic, i tryed it and it worked, but i got a question, it downloaded all the pictures in a folder named like the manga, but i want them to be separated in diferent folders acording to the chapter all of them inside the folder named after the manga title, is that possible?

by example

c:\manga\manga_name\manga_chapter1\image_from_manga_chapter_1.jpg
and
c:\manga\manga_name\manga_chapter2\image_from_manga_chapter_2.jpg

ok then, well i have got another question, you see, i tryied downloadin these mangas

B Reaction
Beast Master
Bitter Virgin

but all of them were incomplete when i downloaded them, for B Reaction it was chapter 1, for beast master were chapter especial 1 and especial 2, and for bitter virgin it was chapter 25, i don't have any idea why it was that they were incomplete, if you know can you explain to me plz? i also tryed to create differents filters so that this doesn't happen in the near future when i download other mangas
Forget that i ever said that, i alrready found the problem, but i haven't fixed it yet, can you help me?, you see, the problem with those chapter where these

for Bitter Virgin and B Reaction problems it was that the first page in those chapters were in this form

Bitter_Virgin/25/00-cover/
/B_Reaction/1/00-cover/

but that doesn't explain why the program didn't downloaded the next pages of the same chapter since those were normal, they didn't have any problem

and for Beast Master problem it was that the chapter where in this form

Beast_Master/4.5/01/
Beast_Master/7.5/01/

can you help me plz, so that doesn't happen never again?

Yeah, I wonder about that too. I've tried fixing with various expressions, but to no avail. (I'm still a beginner)

Thanks Koala, I've got a few questions regarding regular expressions that's not covered by the help file, hope you don't mind me using this thread instead of creating a new one.
1. What does /$ do?
2. What's the function of this bracketing? [\d-]+
3. I know that ; is used to separate expressions, but is it also an OR function? As in A;B, if A doesn't exist, find B, or is it both finding A and B? Sorry if I'm not very clear.
4. Is there a way to clear all tasks at once? I'd like to use a project as a template but adding new tasks seems to be auto-saved, and it's tedious to clear them one by one when you have multiple tasks.

1.$ means: at the end of the line.
2.[\d-]+ means one or more number or -
3.Yes, you can also use |.
4.No:(
