Honey Image Downloader

It is often necessary to save multiple images from a certain website or forum locally, but no one wants to resort to downloading each picture manually, as this process would be both tedious and time-consuming.

Thankfully, applications like Honey Image Downloader make it possible to grab all the images you are interested in with very little effort. It is very easy to use, and it allows you to configure various filters to ensure only the right items are saved.

One of the best things about this program is the fact that even complete novices can set up a download job and begin saving images in no time at all. While there are quite a few advanced settings that can be customized, a simple task can be configured with very little effort.

The user interface features a clean layout, and it is very easy to keep track of the status of each download job. However, it would have been great if it were possible to resize the main window and its constituent panels.

Naturally, most web pages are likely to contain image content that you are not interested in, and Honey Image Downloader enables you to exclude these items based on a predefined set of parameters. For instance, you can exclude certain URLs, set the maximum depth of the scan or ignore images that too small or too large.

The application can organize the downloaded images into folders based on the page they were grabbed from, and the total running time of the job can also be limited.

Certain websites are likely to require authentication, and this program allows you to enter these credentials in a browser window when the job is configured.

Moreover, you have the option of providing a proxy server that should be used to connect to the website, a feature that can prove helpful in a number of scenarios.

In short, Honey Image Downloader is a well-designed application that, while powerful, can be used by experts and novices alike. A couple of UI tweaks would be welcome, but this is a streamlined, intuitive utility that can save you a lot of time and effort.
