Archives

The Doggie Bag System is the primary means of downloading galleries. It allows registered users to download archived copies of galleries in .ZIP format for a fee of either GP or Credits.

How to Use

In a gallery click on the "Archive Download" link on the top right of the page. A browser window will pop-up with the user's current GP total (or credits if not enough GP are available), the size of the gallery, and the cost of the gallery. Upon fee deduction the window automatically refreshes providing a download prompt where the download is available. The use of download managers is permitted to some extent (see Limits).

Requesting an archive download

Costs

• The base amount is relative to the total filesize after being compressed at roughly 20 GP per MB.
• If the user has made 100+ downloads in the last week the costs will increase based on the number of recent downloads.
• Older archives (those that have not been downloaded by anyone in 31+ days and whose gallery is 31+ days old) will have an x2 multiplier on their cost. This stacks with the above cost increase.

Re-Downloading

There is an option to re-download a doggie bagged gallery for up to 1 week from when the fee was deducted. Galleries can be re-downloaded by returning to their respective pages and clicking the download link again.

Filenames

The filenames used in archives are subject to the following automatic adjustments:

• If any duplicate filenames are present a prefix will be added in order to differentiate those images from each other.
• As of 2013 the numerical order of the files will be added. (e.g. something001.jpg -> 01_something001.jpg, 00.jpg -> 01_00.jpg, etc.)
  • This does not occur if the filename already begins with a 2-4 digit number (with leading zeroes) followed by an underscore.

Limits

• Archive links will expire on their own after a week.
• Up to two /24 IP ranges per archive link are allowed to prevent link sharing^[1]. Anything over this will require the user to wait for the link to expire.
• Up to 4 simultaneous streams may be used while downloading.
