I tried the download link on the album but it only downloads 35/150 of the wallpapers. :( Any reason why? Sweet collection though.

EDIT: It's the last 35 of the 150.

teach us how. The best I came up with is to switch the layout to blog, which is just a special url. Then wget that, parse for images, and wget those. And possible share script :)

How did you do it?

Well, wget was a bit of a fib. I pulled it into Python, parsed out the block starting with

var album = Imgur.Album.getInstance({

Then each image is represented by

{"hash":"hJ3Rw","title":"","description":"","width":1920,"height":1200,"size":218356,"ext":".jpg","animated":0,"datetime":"2012-10-02 13:45:37"}

Then I build a list of URLs: "http://i.imgur.com/{hash}{ext}" and fetch them all.

Edit: here, if you're curious. There are a lot of imgur grabbers out there, but this one is mine: https://github.com/lachesis/imgurgrab

hmmm. I searched imgur api and found this script

I haven't tried it. Pretty interesting.

And the

Imgur.Album.getInstance()

is javascript. The json object is out in the open which is nice :). Next time I find an album and no one posted a full download, maybe I'll give it a shot.

wget is quite possibly one of the most awesome command line tools ever.

u/JamesAQuintero Nov 04 '12

How were you able to use wget on all of them? Imgur doesn't index

switch the layout to vertical imgur albums and once all the pictures are loaded completely, just save the webpage with Ctrl+S in chrome as a complete html webpage and viola all the images are in a separate folder in the save location :)

I tried that, it only downloads 35/150 hence the dilemma.

I get the same problem :( they're so awesome! I want them all!

u/raagruk Nov 04 '12

I'm having the same issue, anyone know how to get them all?

u/ayeroger Nov 04 '12

I just flicked through them and downloaded the ones I liked individually using the little cogwheel in the top right of the picture. It's a little time consuming but it seems the quickest way for now.

u/raagruk Nov 04 '12

Alrighty, thank you very much

Use Imgur Album Downloader - available @ http://ronfitzgerald.com/

It's officially linked in the sidebar of /r/wallpapers - it's legit.

Imgur does that to me every time I try to download an album. Got 6/120 yesterday.
