Cloudflare VS "Fine Art Girls / Picture (Thumbs) Posts & RAR-files"; How to download now?

I have been using Bulk Image Downloader to grab sets from the "Fine Art Girls / Picture (Thumbs) Posts & RAR-files" for years.

Cloudflare completely breaks BID automation. It's still possible to stack links in Queue Manager, but Cloudflare will block downloads after just a couple of minutes. More detail here.

Are there tools that can download stacks of links from the "Picture (Thumbs) Posts & RAR-files" forums, even with Cloudflare active?

Based on my experience with BID, it looks like that whole section is broken. However: I can see that people are still creating posts, and uploading thumbnails and links.

It seemed to be briefly solved a couple of weeks back, I could bulk download again (JDownloader) but it was gone by the end of the day. This is a much bigger problem than the browser checks imo, which are an accepted part of ddos protection. But if we can't grab sets...

Try this:
(I'm using Windows 10 / Chrome / BID)

Right-click in the thumbnails page -> View page source
This should open a very long page of html code (otherwise see caveat below)
Select all, copy and paste into a text editor (I use Notepad++)
Save to a file.
Drag that file onto the BID Drop Box
You should now be good to go with BID

Caveat:
Occasionally you will get a much shorter page of html code.
This is the cloudflare page instead of the KK page source.
When this happens refresh the thumbnail page or close and reopen it and try View page source again.

I wish we could follow these instructions....i opened 'view page source' but what do i copy of it?
here is a typical page:
view-source:http://kitty-kats.net/threads/sabrina-litlle-adorable-brunette-108-pictures-2400px.2735402/
i see nothing labeled HTML code.//
is this it?
<title>Nubiles - Sabrina Litlle - Adorable Brunette - 108 pictures - 2400px | Kitty Kats</title>
or is this:?
href="http://kitty-kats.net/threads/sabrina-litlle-adorable-brunette-108-pictures-2400px.2735402/" />


how about a screen grab of what you're talking about?
this effects many of us and must be killing Kittys biz.
thank you.

For that Sabrina Little - Adorable Brunette page, view source should get you over 2000 lines of HTML code starting with:

!DOCTYPE html>
<html id="XF" lang="en-US" dir="LTR"
data-app="public"
data-template="thread_view"
data-container-key="node-15"
data-content-key="thread-2735402"
data-logged-in="true"
data-cookie-prefix="xf_"
data-csrf="1609100873,24c5efe6da429bcaf88db08aaa182275"
class="has-no-js template-thread_view"
>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover">

<title>Nubiles - Sabrina Little - Adorable Brunette - 108 pictures - 2400px | Kitty Kats</title>

<meta name="description" content="Set Name : Sabrina Litlle - Adorable Brunette
Resolution : 2400
Pics Count : 108


If you get a much shorter page, you've got the Cloudfare page and you need to refresh and try again.

> what do i copy of it?

The entire page! CTRL-A to select all, CTRL-C to copy. Open text editor and CTRL-V to paste it all and then save it.

Again, I'm using Windows, may be different for Mac or Linux.
