VRipper (Cross-platform Gallery Ripper)

[coldfinger]

Hi guys,
I have the VRipper 6.5.5, and I can't dl a thing, with IMX or vipr.im, with or without vpn. I have windows 11 and use FSecure antivirus.
it used to work perfectly before but since a couple of weeks it seems broken in some way. Frankly I dont know what to do anymore.

[CaesarXZ]

yeah ! almost same problem as well , using VRipper 6.5.2 . Galleries are not downloading. And just returning errors.



No idea where can i upload log file ?

----------------

Though when i see the log the last image gave this error (removed image link though , just pasting what error message says)
Since it's just same for all previous images for last gallery.

got the new 6.5.6
works good on imx
but:
1. does not download file named 000, example:
https://imx.to/i/69tlpb from https://vipergirls.to/threads/15229135-Te...gust-28-2025
2. does not download files with name starting with "_", example:
https://imx.to/i/69tkon from https://vipergirls.to/threads/15229133?p=...ost248322559
3. auto-rename doesn't work

Update to 6.5.6

1. does not download file named 000, example:
https://imx.to/i/69tlpb from https://vipergirls.to/threads/15229135-Te...gust-28-2025
2. does not download files with name starting with "_", example:

3. auto-rename doesn't work

about the 000 & _ not downloading, it's not about the filename, but the fact that the images were posted on the thread as full size image & not as thumbnail. The new imx downloading method for 6.5.6 is that it converts the thumbnail url into full size url without loading the page. But, I guess the code can't convert it if it's already in full size.

It will be so great if we have some scheduler in Vripper's new version

[coldfinger]

Hi version,

thanks for the reply, but the problem remains and I really don't know what to do...

On a side note, and since a few months, I cannnot access VG (and IMX) anymore without a vpn on, otherwise it's 504 Gateway Timeout. On some rare instances I can, but it's 1 on 10 connections (I'm in Finland). Actualy, I think it started when ddos guard was introduced (VG & IMX). It only happens here and nowhere else. And I don't think it comes from my hardware since I got a new laptop very recently.

Cheers mate.

Yup that's correct, the assumption is that the images posted are thumbnails, i'll add a piece of code to handle this special case

Your issue is with your internet access (or the restrictions put over it), th VG site issues are mostly worked around since we began using viper.click and the imx as well, are you using the latest version ? use it if you're not

Hi guys,

some days ago my mac crashed while Vripper 6.5.4 was running.
After rebooting Vripper will not start anymore.
I removed it and updated to 6.5.6 but still the same problem: an empty vripper window appears but then it remains starting without the menus showing up.

the log gives this:

I googled the JavaFX error and it seems it can be ignored, but I can't find the solution to the [SQLITE_CORRUPT] The database disk image is malformed error.

Does anybody know how to solve this?

So, the window closes only when starting the download? otherwise it stays on.. is that it? EXACTLY this is what happens every time

Also, where did you extract the portable version? If it's in the same drive as the full version, then extract the portable version in another drive & then try.

tried on alternate backup drive same result

On a new note I have been thinking that maybe I have too many versions installed accross my PC (backup drives etc) so I decided to do a clean up and I found the 3.3.2 version and clicked on it...and it worked! no closing of the app nothing it just downloaded the set with no problem. I'm beginning to think that my problem is more on my PC than the app itself.

Your issue is with your internet access (or the restrictions put over it), th VG site issues are mostly worked around since we began using viper.click and the imx as well, are you using the latest version ? use it if you're not

Hi,
and thanks for your reply.
Since I'm not tech savy - far from it actually - what do you mean by internet restrictions? I'm not aware that I have such restrictions because I've had the same settings for years without any problems, and VG always ran perfectly. (I use FSecure antivirus & Deco mesh for internet distribution within the house) . But if yes, how do I modify those restrictions?
The whole VG/Ripper problem started only a few weeks ago for some unknown reasons and that's why I'm puzzled.
As for the latest version, I assume you refer to the VRipper version I use, which is 6.5.5.
Any help would be really much appreciated.
Cheers mate(s)

Your ISP can block/restrict/throttle your connections to any site without any notice at any time. So, you not changing any settings doesn't really matter.
Have you tried connecting with vpn & see if VG or IMX opens flawlessly?

Also, update to 6.5.6 asap.

damn! you need to clean up properly then. Delete any previous versions & install 6.5.6 portable.
btw, you do shut down & restart your computer regularly.. right?

Hi again,
and thanks for taking the time to reply... and you patience.
so I've updated to 6.5.6... and it's not working. Speed is 0 bytes and get the same error/failed message.
I mean my point is: 2/3 weeks ago it worked perfectly, now it won't. Simple as that.

Yes, I shutdown my PC every night when I go to bed and restart at least once a week.
