Downloading

The downloading of a gallery can be done in 3 different ways:

Method	Pros	Cons
Manually	No cost Can download max size images Can skip unwanted images	Counts against viewing limit Costs GP when downloading original image, unless one of the following is true: You are a donator The gallery is newer than 3 months The gallery is newer than 12 months, and it is not peak hours Notes: If manual downloading is not available for free, the system will first attempt to deduct your Full Image Quota (FIQ). The cost is 20 FIQ per MB If your FIQ balance is not enough to cover the cost, you will be charged 1,000 GP in exchange for 1,000 FIQ Your FIQ will only last temporarily. It will be reset when the servers' memory cache is restarted, or the cache entry is pruned due to space constraints "Peak hours" for this purpose is (in UTC) between 14:00 and 20:00 UTC Monday-Saturday, and between 05:00 and 20:00 UTC on Sundays. Very time consuming No automation without browser plugins/scripts, but too intensive downloads will trigger IP bans
Archive	Can download files compressed into a package Can select 1280x or original size Freely re-downloadable for 1 week Can be done through an H@H client Allows for other sizes, galleryinfo.txt will be included	Costs GP Free amounts based on H@H activity and any Stars / Awards owned
EHTracker	No cost Can include files not present in the gallery Can be the fastest option for larger galleries Torrent ratio does not matter	Torrent may not exist for a gallery Requires at least 1 seed or full copy in the swarm Can be time consuming based on swarm size
