Fetchgals Description

Fetchgals is a Web spider that locates and optionally downloads free pictures and movies from the internet. Fetchgals is a Web spider that locates and optionally downloads free pictures and movies from the internet. Today, commercial porn sites are advertised like this: somebody puts together a thumbnail gallery, i.e. a web page with small thumbnail pictures linking to free full-size images or movies, and provides a link to the pay site. These thumbnail galleries are listed on central websites called Thumbnail Gallery Posts (TGPs). Unfortunately, many TGPs add a layer of redirects, popups, spyware and viruses. Fetchgals is designed to eliminate the TGP.The fetchgals distribution comes with a huge list of TGPs. This list was generated by a separate script called findtgps, which is also included in the distribution. Fetchgals visits these TGPs in order to locate thumbnail galleries. The images and movies of these galleries can then be downloaded. Since there's a couple hundred gigabytes of free porn on the internet at any given time, fetchgals constantly monitors local disk space to avoid overruns. Alternatively, fetchgals can create local HTML pages that link to the known galleries; this minimizes disk and bandwidth usage.The script is written in perl and uses multiple threads to maximize throughput. Both fetchgals and findtgps are in the public domain. Requirements:· You need perl 5.8.0 or better; the program was tested with perl 5.8.2 on Linux. In addition to a number of modules from the standard perl distribution, we also use the module Filesys::Df from the CPAN perl module archive. To test whether you have that module installed, try· perl -MFilesys::Df -e 1· If you get an error message, you need to install the module from CPAN. With a bit of luck, becoming superuser and giving the line· perl -MCPAN -e 'install Filesys::Df'· will do the job. If not, see the manual page perlmodinstall(1) for the details.
