JDownloader, DDOS-Guard & IMX

[ColonelCream]

imx.to files in jdownloader2 are blocked by ddosguard, i have been startpaging the subject, but getting dead ends. Anyone have the technique to get the ddosguard to validate in jd2?

Mod Edit - I've relocated this post to it's own discussion thread.

anyone??? Since vripper is apparently never going to work again on imx.to, I would also like to know how to get jdownloader2 working. I have the same problem, how to get it to validate ddosguard.

TBH, I'm not sure VRipper or jdownloader2 will ever work with IMX.to in its current state.
Short answer: The issue is that as part of DDoS-Guard, cloudflare is blocking "headless browsers" which is an integral part of how those programs work. IE. they are functionally, headless browsers.
Long answer: For your own research, try googling: "Bypass cloudflare validation challenge" and get ready to do some reading. (SPOILER: I haven't found anyone that knows how to do it)
Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but alas, I'm in the same boat.

ok, there is a step in the right direction. I was in the camp that it was some kind of captcha solve or something

[myfreakison]

well, bummer. I was hoping there was some kind of "hook" that jdownloader could place in the browser.
Maybe posters here will just start moving away from imx.to. thanks for the reply.

I wrote this some time ago in some other thread:

have figured out the following workaround for Jdownloader (posted this on Vripper thread some time ago):

1. Uncheck the setting: Packager - Predefined rule: Create subfolder for each Packagename. Otherwise it will create subfolder for every image.
2. Relaunch Jdowloader, as the effect won't otherwise turn on.
3. instead of copy/pasting the page link, I "paint" the gallery images with mouse, copy/paste (CTRL-c CTRL-v)everything to JDownloader LinkGrabber (or LinkGrabber may automatically paste the links if it is set to do that.
4. Let the LinkGrabber load all the links, it may take some time because this is slower method than the regular way. (If the page link from address bar of the browser is used, it can't read the link due to DDOS-Guard, it gives the error message "Blocked by DDOS-guard")
5. Start download, everything downloads to Jdownloader download directory.
6. After thatI create new subfolder with approppriate name and copy the images from JDownloader download directory to there.

I am by no means any internet geek, but my theory is that when DDOS-guard is on, Jdownloader, Vripper and any other mass downloader cannot read the content of the page, if the page address is copy/pasted, because tha page link points directly to Vipergirls address. But when the links are copied from the page by selecting and copying, links are not read thorugh Vipergirls address page, instead it gets the link information directly to image hosts, so DDOS-guard is not affected.

Seems to be still working, as DDOS-guard blocked Vripper and the normal way to download with Jdownloader.


edit: sorry, DDOS-guard seems to be blocking this method too now. Only a couple images downloaded, the rest were blocked.

if nothing works this works for me

https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl

in combination with https://github.com/rotemdan/ExportCookies firefox and chrome extension

Export your browser cookies into cookies.txt

I made a simple gallery-dl.bat for starting the download, just change the _PATHTO_ and save it as yourname.bat

@echo ON
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

title Gallery-DL

set "tool=C:\_PATHTO_\gallery-dl\gallery-dl.exe"
set cookies="C:\_PATHTO_\cookies.txt"

:START

set /p url="URL (leave blank to exit): " || GOTO end

start %tool% --cookies %cookies% "%url%"

GOTO START

:end
exit

for naming or renaming you can deep-dive into the gallery-dl.conf

Jdownloader is starting with imx links now, Then draws a ddos block.
