Konachan Downloader

License PyPI Homebrew Python

Screenshot

A high-performance CLI tool designed for efficiently downloading images from konachan.net. It features a smart update system, resumable downloads, and multi-threading support.

✨ Key Features

  • 🔄 Smart Update & Resume: The ultimate workflow. It checks page 1-5 for new uploads. If no new images are found, it automatically jumps to your last saved "deep" progress (e.g., Page 400) and continues archiving.
  • ⚡ High Performance: Multi-threaded downloader utilizes full bandwidth.
  • ⏯️ Resumable: Skips existing files and remembers your last position.
  • 🛡️ Secure: Defaults to Safe Mode. Unsafe Mode supports Cloudflare bypass logic.
  • 🔍 Robust: Built-in retries for network stability.

🚀 Quick Usage

The "Best Practice" Way

Use Smart Mode for everything. It handles both checking for updates and resuming deep downloads.

  1. Scans recent pages for new content.
  2. If fully caught up, it auto-jumps to your history (e.g., Page 400) to fill old gaps.
konachan-dl --tags "hatsune_miku" --smart

Other Commands

Unsafe Mode (NSFW)

Custom Range
