OK, first of all grab the most recent beta version here:

http://www.exisoftware.com/downloads/pi ... rSetup.exe

It works way faster when a project has a lot of starting addresses.

The general rule for downloading from forum is: add all thread pages as starting addresses (use the built-in URL Generator to generate all page addresses), set the exploration type to "Follow all links" and limit the exploration depth to 2. Now the details. Left's take http://www.planetsuzy.org/t476296-sexy- ... ution.html for example.

Create a new project and use the above address as a starting URL. Once the project is created, open the project properties window and select the Starting addresses section. Click the Generate button under the list of starting addresses to open the built-in URL generator. Currently this thread has 16 pages, so use the following settings to generate URLs:

So, generate all necessary addresses and click "OK" to add them to the project.

You'll need the following Target files:
*.jp*
*.png
*.gif

Site exploration -> Regular site: Follow all links, Exploration depth limit: 2

Save -> Conflicts: Do not download and save new file if file size is the same

Usually it's a good idea to exclude the rest of the forum from the project scope as well as thumbnails to speed-up the download process. So use the following filters:
Filters -> Excluded URLs:
thumb
planetsuzy\.org

Also set the minimum image size to avoid thumbnails and avatars:
Limits -> Image size:
Min. image height: 300px
Min. image width: 300px

That's it. The same settings can be used for http://www.intporn.org/threads/hot-amat ... ss.233429/. Just change the starting address and the domain name in the Excluded URL filters.

If you'll have any problems creating the project - download the one I created here:

projects/www.planetsuzy.org-t476296.exe

Simply run the above file. It'll install a new project into the EPF project tree. Then run the project in the program.
