downloading pictures posted in forums

Hey. This is a link to a forum where pictures are all posted using the same upload site.

http://weloveteengirls.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=18

Could someone explain how I could filter results so that PicaLoader goes through the forum and downloads all the pictures linked from that upload site? Many thanks if you can help.

This isn't as clean a way as KoalaBear would use but it will rip the site fast:

URL: http://weloveteengirls.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=18

Profile: All Pictures except thumbnail

Followed Links: All levels

Page Location: Anywhere

Picture Location: Anywhere

Page URL include filters: showthread;hostwhore

Page URL exclude Filters: index;#up;rules;login;register;member;search;display;calendar;memberlist;faq;profile;f=3;misc;thumb;tools;rate;top;nextnewest;linear;nojs

Picture URL exclude filters: thumb
-------------------

Be sure to use

Customize Filename: DIGIT(00001)+TNAME+EXT

Don't have to use that exact customization but it will at least number the pictures instead of give you scrambled random jibberish filenames.

Lite Project - Storing all pictures in one folder, max to 20,000 pictures

(lite project will probably work. The first 2K of images go fast and then I'm not sure if there are any more.)

Again, KoalaBear would have a cleaner, more refined way to download the site but the above works pretty quick.
