I am not sure why this is getting such poor reviews. It works exactly as advertised and saved me hours of time. The post text feature is awesome and the download folder is so well organized.

Sure, it took awhile (~30 minutes?) for all my posts which had a mix of videos, images, and gifs (which I was pleasantly suprised to see it saved the gifs as well!). I don't know the exact time because its very simple to just have this running in the background while I did other things. So having it open the gallery etc doesn't seem like a big deal. If I had done this myself it would have taken so, so many hours.

Also, patreon does not let you upload videos - only embed through vimeo or youtube. So any expectation for this to download videos is unrealistic.

I am rebuilding my website and planned to rename all the files after downloading... I found that the downloaded files were simply named with consecutive numbers in each subfolder. This is so great because my uploaded file names were horrible. Having the downloaded image file names in this format will make it so easy to use a command shell to quick rename the files by just adding a prefix to the name.

This is a wonderful plugin and I am very thankful to the creator who took the time to write this! Give the guy a break and read the notes and instructions before using. It is super simple to use and a life-saver. Thank you!!!

For graphical content this extension is good. I wanted to save the text content in the posts as well as the attachments of other file types. I'll ask the developer if it is possible to include that feature.

Cons:
Yes this extension is slow and temperamental but if you're desperate to download paid content you want for free, without the Patreon users blessing this is a win in my book.

Downloads content once website scrape is completed.

Any updates to the site and you have to download the complete site again. There should be granular options to select today or last updated or only download the latest content not in folder.

Pros:
The extension parses the full resolution content (from what I can tell only pictures) Other mass downloaders only grab the thumbnail which makes a huge difference.

Note: If you've installed the extension make sure to refresh the page first. Make sure to uncheck download option "ask where to download".
