Simple Subreddit Image Downloader

Tired of all of those reddit downloaders which want you to install tons of dependencies and then don't work anyway? Me too.

Simple Subreddit Image Downloader is bash script which:

  • has minimal external dependencies
  • downloads full-size images from subreddits
  • is crossplatform (tested on windows with cygwin)
  • uses SSL connection

This script just downloads all directly linked images in subreddit. For more complex usage, use other reddit image downloader.

Requirements

  • bash (cygwin is OK)
  • wget
  • GNU grep (on MacOS install with brew install grep --with-default-names)

Usage

./rdit.sh <subreddit_name>

Script downloads images to folder named "down" in current directory. If you want to change that, you need to edit destination in rdit.sh for now.
