The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 1.3
Bulk Image Downloader allows users to download images from a web gallery.
The application integrates with MS Internet Explorer, FireFox and Mozilla browsers interface to ease the download operation.
When user enters a URL into the input box and presses 'Scan URL for images', the program opens that Internet address and looks for all the images that the web site contains and downloads all immediately. If the user browser is running, just right click on the page or link, so the context appears with the Bulk Image integration, and press 'Download with Bulk Image Downloader' to start downloading all the images in the web site.
Downloads are quick (depending only on the user connection speed), they will be transferred saving bandwith and stoping (not downloading) any popup images or advertisements. The application takes care of the images quality and any interrumpted download will be retried automatically. It detects threads from forums, galleries and multiple page web sites, and downloads images at full size even from thumbnails galleries.
User doesn't need to right click on every image and press 'Download as', etc. since the program will find all the images in the selected site or gallery and download them without any user interaction.
Many options at the Configuration window, such as number of retries, autodetect proxy, etc.
None.
