I was doing it, hence the reason I wrote the program..

Well, the download limit is only for the ZIP files, you can download as many images as you can click..

First off, this was quickly put together.. There is no error handling, so if an image is faulty on the website, the downloading will just hang (I ran in to a couple of issues while testing)..

Secondly, my testing was all on macOS and a single run on Windows 10.. I don't have a Linux installation to test on, but it should just work..

Lastly, it only downloads the anime listed on the Series directory page < https://dynasty-scans.com/series > This list gets cached on your computer so as not to hammer the server.. If you need to delete the cache it will re-download it the next time you run the application.. (see below for the paths)

Usage
- run the program
- the list gets filled in (the first time is a little slow as it has to download the list and parse it)
- select a manga from the list
- click the Download button
-- you will be prompted for a save location, this is a general download area that all the manga will get download to, you will only be asked for the location the first time, on every launch)
- watch the progress bar go across the screen

Notes
- I tried to make this as friendly as possible to the server, so the manga list gets cached
- when downloading a series, it downloads each image one at a time (the same as if you were doing it in your web browser)
- if the download stalls, take a look to see if there is an error with the image on the website (quit the program so you can use it again)
- there are no features and no error handling
- source code is available (scroll to the bottom of the web page)
- tested on Mac OS X 10.10 (code-signed)
- tested on Windows 10 (not signed)
- untested on Linux (not signed)

Path
- the manga list is cached, as a JSON file, at the following locations
- Windows
\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\tk.shaosean.dynastyscansdownloader\
- macOS
~/Library/Application Support/tk.shaosean.dynastyscansdownloader/
- Linux
~/tk.shaosean.dynastyscansdownloader/

I'm due to depart, and the end of this week, from the civilized world for the next couple of years, so I won't be updating this until I come back.. Enjoy :-)

I was bored last night and wrote a simple downloader.. It's faster than downloading the images individually, but easier on the server as it doesn't require visiting every page.. Any objections (from the server admins) to posting a link to it?
