ImageHostGrabber & Pale Moon Support Thread

[ColonelCream]

drats. I just needed the IHG to grab the pixhost.cc. IHG was still working on pixhost.to a few days ago, i think. I can only hope that any desirable pixhost.cc galleries will offer a zip, then i can use Tor to get the zip. I guess other than that, i would have to do the old "one at a time" drudgery.

There was this thing, years ago, where you could locate old revisions of Tor, the versions that were IHG compatible back when Firefox still was. Kind of risky though, but if you only use it for one thing, it could be worth looking into.

You STILL can download in bulk.. in TOR. Just install the script manager (greasemonkey or tampermonkey), install the script I linked, then open the VG page with pixhost links. You will see a button on the top right corner of every post. Click the Download Zip button and it will download it.

No need for one by one download.

EDIT: I repeat.. there is no need for IHG in this userscript download method. NO need to download & install IHG. There is NO need for IHG. IHG not needed.

EDIT2: Install the userscript in Tor.. NOT Palemoon.

Excellent, thanks for the assist. I think the UK users aren't the only ones facing this pixhost blockage. Even Tor is rejecting pixhost if a US domain is anywhere in the routing...

good day all

i was using ihg to down load some pix when i noticed a banner on the top of the screen. " Domain status:pixhost.to – Operational (alternative domains recommended) pixhost.cc – Operational
pixho.st – Operational"

there maybe a 3rd search option...pix.st!!!

i did some further digging and found this..https://medium.com/@pixhost.cc/sloppy-pol...f7f6,,,there seems to be an active effort to shutdown storage sites. there was a reference to a site called coomer.st which was a public archive for onlyfans and groups like that which has been closed suddenly without notice. when i tried the link to the article i had only time to read the first paragraph before the page when blank. bottom line is there may be something going on that no one can fix. i i have been getting technical difficulties error messages at planetsuzy, nudecelbforum and fritchy but viper girls seems to be working.

You can suggest that to the pixhost team if you like. It's not really within IHG's support area.

Don't worry, it's not an active effort. Just some sloppy police work & blind compliance by the registrar.

there was a reference to a site called coomer.st which was a public archive for onlyfans and groups like that which has been closed suddenly without notice.

The problem with coomer.st is that the site owner abandoned it. Probably couldn't keep up with the cost or something..

when i tried the link to the article i had only time to read the first paragraph before the page when blank.

Which article? the pixhost one? If you can't read the article or it's going blank, you can try turning on the 'reading mode' on your browser.
Or alternatively, you can read it here.. https://archive.is/duD3T

i have been getting technical difficulties error messages at planetsuzy, nudecelbforum and fritchy but viper girls seems to be working.

That is a separate issue btw. You can read about it here.. https://vipergirls.to/threads/15263010-Si...-PS-VEF-etc)
The summary of that whole thread is that: Sites like Imgbox, Imagebam, Imagevenue, fritchy, planetsuzy, VEF, they all were owned by same company. Recently, the dutch police raided a data center in search of another unrelated criminal website called motherless. And these sites like planetsuzy got affected because of collateral damage.
The tech team behind planetsuzy is working on restoring their websites, but they don't have any solid timeframe when it will come back.. it can be weeks, it can be months.

Image Host Grabber also has such wonderful functions/variables like "redirect", "redirect_url", or even "redirect_url = pageUrl.replace(new RegExp(domain)"). Someone would have to be brave enough to edit the hostf.xml file and try something out according to the documentation – that should allow .to sites to load from .cc sites as well. Everything was thoroughly documented back then.

Pale Moon has updated to version 34.3.2

I’m familiar with that, but that’s not what I meant.
I was referring to the way .to links are automatically redirected to .cc—instead of loading from .to—and then loaded from there.
I have a vague recollection of this being done for certain domains a long time ago.
I don’t use the IHG anymore; it was just a note to show that something like this is possible—meaning the thumbnails (with their links) point to .to, but the actual content loads from a different domain, such as .cc.

V has already implemented a script across VG that converts all pixhost.to links to pixhost.cc & it includes all previous postings of pixhost.to as well.
So, I don't see why you need to covert the links with IHG? VG already does it.

[BongoBing]

A bit late to the party. You can change the URL pattern for pixhost to:

^https?:\/\/([^/]+\.)?pixhost\.[to/cc]\/show\/.+$

This will work for both .to & .cc links... for sites other than VG

For some unknown reason IMX.to threads for me no longer download with IHG whereas they always used to be fine.

Sample thread: https://vipergirls.to/threads/1015156-Van...ts-1-amp-2-x

[joe_bloe]

I haven't tried your specific thread, but I've had no problems downloading other IMX sets in the last hour.

[Progishness]

It's been like it for a couple of days to my knowledge, tho I don't use IHG that much to be honest.

It's because the links on that thread is http instead of https. So, IHG fails to download it.

The solution is to use an extension to force https..

1. Install the add-on HTTPS Always from Hyperbola Project
2. Go to your %appdata% directory for Pale Moon. On windows, it's C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles
3. Enter your Pale Moon profile folder. The name will be some_strings.default.. for example fklnk6bu.default
4. You will see a folder named HTTPSAlwaysUserRules. If it's not there, create one.
5. Inside the HTTPSAlwaysUserRules folder, create a text file & rename it to IMX.xml ; with changing the file extension to xml as well.
6. Right click on that file > Edit in any text editor; then add the following lines there.

<ruleset name="IMX">
    <target host="imx.to" />
    <target host="*.imx.to" />

    <rule from="^http:"
        to="https:" />
</ruleset>

7. Save the file.
8. Restart Pale Moon.

Now, you can download http imx links with IHG.
