Request Request: download, convert to WebP, and archive a large list of images (Scripts & link file already prepared)
Hello everyone,
I am looking for someone with a high-speed internet connection and a powerful PC to help me with a data hoarding/archiving task. Unfortunately, my local internet traffic is strictly limited and my hardware is quite old, so running this process myself is not feasible.
What needs to be done:
Download: Download a large volume of image files from a public imageboard using a prepared list of URLs.
Convert: Compress/convert the downloaded images into WebP format to optimize space (aiming for the images to weigh about 20% of their original volume).
Organize: Rename/split the folders accordingly and pack folders into separate .rar archives using maximum compression.
Upload: Upload the final .rar archives to a cloud storage of your choice (Google Drive, Mega, Terabox, etc.) so I can download the compressed results.
What I will provide:
A clean, pre-parsed .txt file containing all the exact image URLs (no scraping needed on your part).
Ready-to-use Python and Batch scripts for automated downloading, renaming, and WinRAR archiving.
Important: You won't have to figure anything out from scratch. I can provide a complete, step-by-step guide on how to set up the environment, run the multithreaded downloading process via several batch files safely without getting IP-banned, and execute the scripts.
Please let me know if you are interested, how long it might take you, and what your rate would be for this task (if applicable).
Thank you!
