UMD is an app to easily download media files hosted on popular websites.
It supports the following sites:
There are 2 ways to use this app: using the GUI or the CLI.
The GUI is the easiest way to use the app, with an intuitive interface that allows you to download media files with just a few clicks. The CLI is more advanced and allows you to download media files in a more automated way.
Both versions are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download the correct version that matches your computer architecture and operating system from the latest release and follow the instructions below:
Enter a URLof the website where the media is hosted and then click on theQuerybutton. If the URL belongs to a website supported by UMD, it will query the website and show the media files in the list below.- Mark the checkbox
Deepif you want to perform a deep search. This will expand the search in the unknown URLs in an attempt to find more media files. - You can limit the number of files that will be queried by entering a number in the
Limitfield.
- Mark the checkbox
- Select the media files that you want to download by clicking on the checkbox next to the file name, or click on the checkboxes to automatically select all images and/or videos.
- Click on the button
Browseto select the directory where you want the files to be saved and then click on theDownloadbutton to start the download.
Run the command below in the terminal:
$ umd-dl -d ~/Downloads/UMD <url>Where:
-d(optional): the directory where you want the files to be saved; default is the current directory.-l(optional): the maximum number of files to download; default is 99.999 files.<url>(mandatory): the URL of the website where the media is hosted (Attention: it's important that the URL is the last parameter).
For the full list of parameters, type umd-dl --help in the terminal.
This application will automatically delete all files that are identical.
For a couple of years now, Apple has required developers to join their "Developer Program" to gain the pretentious status of an identified developer 😛.
Translating to non-BS language, this means that if you’re not registered with Apple (i.e., paying the fee), you can’t freely distribute macOS software. Apps from unidentified developers will display a message saying the app is damaged and can’t be opened.
To bypass this, open the Terminal and run the command below, replacing <path-to-app> with the correct path to where you’ve installed the app:
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <path-to-app>Some websites, like Coomer/Kemono, use techniques to block tools from scraping their content. UMD, however, includes countermeasures to bypass these restrictions. This process can make the downloads take longer than usual.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to speed up this process, so please be patient and allow the app to complete its work.
In order to build this project you will need the following dependencies installed in your computer:
If you want to build the GUI you will also need:
With all the dependencies installed, in the project's root folder run the command:
$ task <interface> os=<operating-system> arch=<architecture>Where:
<interface>: can becliorgui.<operating-system>: can bewindows,darwin(macOS), orlinux.<architecture>: can beamd64orarm64.
For example, if I wanted to build a GUI version of the app for Windows, on architecture AMD64, I would run the command:
$ task gui os=windows arch=amd64This app collects information about the data that you're downloading to help me track bugs and improve the general stability of the software.
No identifiable information about you or your computer is tracked. But if you still want to stop the telemetry, you can do that by adding the flag --no-telemetry in the CLI tool or the environment variable -e UMD_TELEMETRY=false when you run the Docker container.
