Downloader? As in an external downloader, or the site's download button? Because from my POV the download button is still where it was before the update.

Oh yes sorry I'm talking about an external one, since the update they don't seem to be able to access the site that's why I'm asking

This version doesn't seem to be downloading posts from the search query "fav:randomguy85", which is what I use all the time. Is there a way to fix it?

It does work, this config:

[Settings]
login = lurkbbs
api_key = va1idApiKey

[Defaults]
days = 300000000
ratings = s,q,e
min_score = -99999999999
min_favs = 0
format = {artist}

[test/fav:randomguy85]
tags = fav:randomguy85

downloads everything just fine. Check if it works for you

Yep, it works, thanks a lot.

I haven't had success with anything, including the fork of e621dl, the original e621dl, or Grabber. Is there something I'm missing? I don't know what to do with the ApiKey line. Not sure if I need to get an API key from somewhere?

This is my config file:

[Settings]
login = winternodoru
api_key = va1idApiKey

[Defaults]
days = 300000000
ratings = s,q,e
min_score = -99999999999
min_favs = 0
format = {artist}

[test/fav:winternodoru]
tags = fav:winternodoru

You can find your API key by going to Account -> Profile -> API Key

As a bit of shameless self-promotion, I'd like to point out that re621 also has mass downloader functionality, with zero configuration required.
Although, it's not automated, like e621dl.

Thanks for the quick reply. Let me try it! I will check out the program you mentioned too.

For some reason, I got email notification only an hour ago. bitWolfy, thanks for covering for me ๐Ÿ‘

I'm hitting a brick wall on how to tell the program to search for everything with XYZ content. Just like searching using the search bar on the website. I try different configs and even use the sample above from another person but it download stuff I was not looking for even when I change the subject content.

[Settings]
login = zakrhyno
api_key = va1idApiKey

[Defaults]
days = 300000000
ratings = s,q,e
min_score = -99999999999
min_favs = 0
format = {artist}

tags = xyz

Is this right?
