FAget (Advance)
Lightweight automatic downloader for FurAffinity with an awkward name.

Newest version: 1.38b (see below)

FAget is no longer supported because of some legal issues. Sorry for all those who still want to use it but I can't update it anymore...

Compatible with Win98, Win2000, WinMe, WinXP, WinVista and Win 7.
No cash, no installer, no registry keys, no graphics, and no advertising bullshit.

You can help improve the program by reporting bugs and errors (see the FAQ below).

 

How to use it
  • Extract the zip contents to any folder.
  • Virus-scan faget.exe.
  • Run install.bat as Administrator.
  • Launch faget.exe. If there's an error about MSWINSCK.OCX or MSCOMCTL.OCX, see the FAQ below.
  • Set your filters, and specify your cookie data (see below) if you want to retrieve "adult" submissions.
  • You can retrieve a unique user's gallery, scraps or faves, or make a full list of users that you can sync with a simple click.
  • FAget will first list all the submissions on all pages and then retrieve them one by one, you can see the downloading status by bytes received and percentage.
  • You can minimize FAget and monitor it's status in the taskbar, you can also tell it to shutdown your computer once done.

If you close FAget while it's downloading, the last file will be invalid and it's handle may not be released.
This is normal, don't do it.

 

How to get the "Cookie data"

To get those two parameters under Firefox, go to your security preferences, "show/delete cookies", and search "furaffinity.net" in the list.
Copy and paste the contents of the B and A items.

Those codes are used by FA to know who you are, so be careful not to give them to anybody !
As the first warning notice says: if you accidentaly give them or your settings file to someone, be sure to logout and login again and make sure noone's using your session
(in your FA control panel, see "Active sessions").

This addon can also be used (thanks Follow).

 

About

FAget was originally created in July 2009. The source is 944 lines long, if someone cares.
There's a nice easter egg hidden somewhere in the username list.

Thanks to Bravin, cLx, Follow, Kmakato, Scuttle, Sinuso, Takara, Tulsa, Twile, Wolfemasters and Yotie for their support and for reporting bugs.

F.A.Q:

Q: I get an error about MSWINSCK.OCX or MSCOMCTL.OCX and the program doesn't start.
A: Run install.bat from the zip file, this will install the needed files. If you're runing Windows Vista or Seven, you may get another error from "DllRegisterServer". In this case, you'll have to do it manually by runing the command prompt "as administrator" (cmd.exe), type "regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx", then enter.
Those two files are totally safe components used by client/server applications which were embedded with previous versions of Windows but are now discontinued.

Q: Where do bug reports can be sent ?
A: Please use the mail address written on this page. Just a simple copy/paste of the error log and the name of the user you were getting is fine, no need to be polite or anything. Reporting bugs is already very polite !

Q: It doesn't download the Adult and Mature rated submissions.
A: The cookie data is probably not entered correctly (see above).

Q: My firewall says that it's trying to reach free.fr, do I have to be worried ?
A: No, this is the automatic update check. FAget asks for this website what is the latest version number, it doesn't send anything else (get a packet sniffer to see for yourself).

Q: What the hell is with the old icon ?
A: It's Danny (known as the Tourettes Guy), because nobody says "FAGGET !" better than he does.

When saving files with their original filename, extensions were missing.

Known bugs:
Special characters aren't still handled well (when naming files from titles).
May stall when listing with slow connections.

 

Version 1.31b: Download
A few more bugfixes. No more errors with untitled submissions, no more "ghost" users in the user list...

Version 1.30b: Download
Fixed to work with the new cookie data.
Modified settings file handling.
Added auto-download favorites.
Added submission ranking filter.
Fixed data overflow bug (hopefully).
Fixed docx downloading.

Known bugs:
Same as 1.22b, not really a bug. Just a missing feature.
Can stall in between download sometimes.
Stalls for sure when an inexisting username is in the sync list. Not hard to fix, just make sure the names are right for now.

Version 1.22b: Download

Fixed to work with the new data server's name.
Added a security message at startup.
New error dialogs simplifies bugreports.

Known bugs:
Same as 1.21b.
Even if a file is not completly downloaded, it is taken as "already downloaded" and skipped. FAget only checks the filename.
The next version will check the file size and download it again if it doesn't match.
Parsing keywords are hardcoded, that's not very good, but it works for now...

 

Version 1.21b: Download
Fixed the bad variable update with the logging information that was causing wrong listings.
Gets mp3 files, and flash files without any (big) problems.
Added a submission type filter.

Known bugs:
FAget guesses the filenames from the thumbnail's URLs. Some submissions somewhat end up in Dragoneer's folder, I can't understand why and it's weird. This makes FAget fail and gives out lots of 404. The next version will go check the submission's page to get the URLs right, it might be a bit slower, but there won't be more 404's.
Auto shutdown might not work with Windows Vista. Anyways, I don't understand why a computer running Vista should be on. Trolling done.
Not a bug: the removed usernames in the user list are kept as a blank line. It goes away after restarting the program.
Not a bug: files are only differenciated by their name, not their actual content.
Might not correctly understand HTML special characters in titles.

 

Version 1.20b: Download
Luckily no more 400 and 404's.
Userlist and sync feature with auto-shutdown gets the job done while you sleep.
Three options for file naming.
