TumblRipper is a free small tool created to backup your tumblr pictures to your harddisk. (Or those of a photoblog you enjoy); Features: StandAlone application (no installation needed). Automatically download all photos from a given TumblR blog. Will try to retrieve the 1280px photo, else 500, 400, 300 or the 250. Only photos you don't already have yet will be downloaded. As light as possible on the tumblR servers (in fact it will cause less load than a normal visitor). Will keep a small text file in the saved directory with the blog url to easily update. Keep the original dates from the original upload.
- Can download some tumblr blogs, but no _raw photos, no in-lined photos (photos appended to text posts) and not all photoset photos. For example:
http://wallpapermag.tumblr.com/
TumblRipper detects 1718 photos, whereas TumblThree for example downloads 1865 photos as of today, thus TumblThree downloads 8% more photos on this example blog.
Cons
- When trying to add some blog it says: Error trying to retrieve tumblr blog. Random example public blog that cant even be added:
https://friendly-animals.tumblr.com/
- Only downloads photos and videos
- Photoset scan really slow, way more slower than the advertised "2x"
- Doesn't download while scanning. Why?
- no _raw photos.
- Each blog has to be added using a clumsy wizard.
- Way to many pop-ups in general.
- Pops up window about visiting tumblripper facebook site at every start, no way to turn it off.
- Can not download safe-mode blogs.
- Can not download hidden blogs.
- Can not download password protected blogs.
- Limited to one thread/download/scan per time for non paid users. Thus, really slow.
- No source code.
