Features

• it can download images by 8 threads(the maxnumber of threads can be adjusted) to accelerate the progress
• in most case it download the first picture of a manga type illustration, but in the illustrator's illustration list it will download the full manga(of course you can adjust the condition to decide when to download full)
• it can login with your account automatically with your account name and password
• after once login it will save cookies to local to avoid login each time
• it can save a garage file as a list of the image id you have downloaded to avoid download images repeatedly(because some ranklist doesn't change a lot next day)
• it can also synchronize your garage file with your remote server(if you have) to make sure not download repeatedly on your different computers
• for illustrator's illustration list, artist id must be provided, if set artist name as "?" then it will be found on the website, if set download page number as -1, then it will download all pages from this artist.
• for some reasons, you know, it need proxies to visit pixiv.net in some area, so you can set proxies in the config.properties.
• config.properties contains most configs so you needn't to edit the code source file.
