mangadex-downloader

If you read manga, or are somewhat familiar with the medium, then it's likely that you're acquainted with MangaDex. Much like its name would suggest, the website is a treasure trove of content for manga fans, so if there's a manga you wish to read, then it's likely that it's on MangaDex.

Downloading a few of your favorite mangas, or even only a few chapters from them, is not unheard of. If you wish to store your favorite titles locally, then mangadex-downloader can be of use. It is a command-line tool that facilitates the download process, so that you can start enjoying your favorite content with minimal effort.

Though it may sound rather daunting to begin using a command-line tool, especially as a more casual user, there's nothing to fear here. Using the tool requires minimal knowledge, and any information you need is documented on the developer's website.

To start off, you'll initially have to copy the URL of the manga you wish to download. Execute the start cmd.bat file within the mangadex-dl directory, and type in mangadex-dl, followed by the link to your manga, in brackets. The tool will then begin downloading your content, so you can sit back and wait for the process to finish.

If you don't want to download the entirety of a manga, then you can resort to downloading only a few select chapters. After all, some manga works are over 200 chapters-long, so it's understandable. To do so, simply append the --start-chapter and --end-chapter commands to your query, along with their respective numbers.

It is also possible to download your content in a language other than English. This is contingent on the works being translated to the desired language in the first place, so it's best to first check the MangaDex page of the respective manga, and see what languages there are.

Users can download their favorite manga to their computer with relative ease through mangadex-downloader, a tool that is much more approachable than it may look at first glance.
