    2. Got this error, it is bug from Pixiv server.
      They return wrong date information.

      I can add exception catching here, but the date/time will be wrong.

      1. so what should i do?
        well language setting is english..
        should i change it?
        if it’s a bug any way to repair this?
        or will pixiv repair the bug
        thanks for the reply 🙂

      2. I’m getting the bug too. I’d say it’s more important to have the images download at all than to absolutely have the correct time, so I hope you do add the fix.

      3. I experienced that bug too and it happens inconsistently, you may experience it after just a few images downloaded, or after several.

  2. so i am downloading for about 140 page at once in pixiv..
    when i reach the page 142, suddenly i get this :

    any help? thanks 🙂

  3. Hi!!!, great job with the downloader!!!

    I have a question, there´s an option to disable the download of the thumbnails of the mangas?

      1. I see xD, i downloaded the latest version, but there’s any way to save the list of the artists that I have downloaded?

  4. Some time ago I whined a bit about PixivUtil working from local terminal on Linux box but not working when I used SSH with PuTTY.

    I found the case and the solution: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 . PuTTY does not set locales right, when they are not set, python does not know what to write.

    Hope would be useful.

    1. If you want to redownload deleted images => Go to DB Manager (d), and select Clean Up Database (c). After that you can redownload the missing images.

      If you always want to redownload any images => set alwaysCheckFileSize to True.

  6. So I’ve been messing around with the settings a little and I have a question. Is there a way to use the manga directory option but have the images within named differently? Like instead of just being “_page1” or something like that I want to use “artist_name_page”.

      1. My current settings are
        filenameformat = %artist% – %title%
        filenamemangaformat = %artist% – %title% %urlFilename%

        I tried doing what you were saying but the results is the same. Just to make myself clear, I meant that I still want the downloader to save the manga in it’s own directory but I just want to do it while the files inside are also named after the folder instead of _p0.jpg.

          1. Still not entirely what I mean but thanks anyway. I assume there’s no way to do what I want then.
            Say I want to save a specific tag, with manga mode set to True it saves normal images in the root directory and manga in their own folder with the pictures inside named as _p1.jpg and so on. What I wanted to do is to have the downloader keep saving normal images in one folder and manga in their each individual folder only with the name of the folder being applied to the files inside of it as well.

            To illustrate what I mean.

            If it’s impossible then I’ll just rename the files myself or learn to live with it so it’s not a big deal. Thanks for replying.

          2. Try this way?
            set createmangadir = False in config.ini and use 2 different format for the filename.
            filenameformat = %artist% – %title%
            filenamemangaformat = %artist% – %title%%title% - %urlFilename%

  7. Hi nandaka
    i love this fine software, but i have a question
    how I (write) download by tags in non-japanese system?, example: “R-18″ tag are fine, but “Boobs” or “Chubby” or anything else don’t work because are write in hiragana

    Regards!

    1. See the readme.txt, use the 2nd option for your case (url-encode the search term)
      Q1. How to paste japanese tags to the console window?
      - Click the top-left icon -> select Edit -> Paste (Cannot use Ctrl-V), if
      it show up as question mark -> Change the Language for non-Unicode
      program to Japanese (google it).
      - or use online url encoder (http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/)
      and paste the encoded tag back to the console.
      - or paste it to tags.txt and select download by tags list. Separate each
      tags with space, and separate with new line for new query.

  8. I might be stupid, or this might not even exist. I looked in the readme and I cannot find a way to get separate user’s pictures into one folder so all of the pictures are in one place. Instead when there are multiple users and pictures it turns into this. http://imgur.com/xrmUncQ

          1. Awesome. I was hoping of more of all the pictures are stored in one folder instead of one folder to hold all the other folders. Works great either way though. Thanks!

          2. remove the folder separator the filenameformat and filenamemangaformat in config.ini, e.g.:

            filenameformat = %artist% (%member_id%) %urlFilename% - %title%
            filenamemangaformat = %artist% (%member_id%) %urlFilename% - %title%

            See readme.txt for more file naming option.

    1. Looks like you got connection problem, somehow the response from the server is empty (no header, no body content).

      Try to use on other internet connection?

      1. thanks for the reply, I’ll try using other internet connection and see if it’s working. Thank you very much

  10. Question about Command Line Options: there is nothing said in readme about ability to do
    >python PixivUtil2.py -s 7 tags.txt 0 100 -x
    for example, only starting page. Would it work? If not, can it be added?
