[site request] imgur.com albums/images

Hi, thanks for your greaat work on youtube-dl. I use it daily and absolutely love it.

Would it be desirable to add support for http://imgur.com album downloads? There’s a python script at https://github.com/alexgisby/imgur-album-downloader that does exactly this, I would like it to be added to youtube-dl (it already supports Flickr albums, so why not).

The other way to download imgur albums is to add /zip at the end of the album url (but it doesnt save bandwith as pngs/jpgs are already compressed formats, and draws the host’s CPU resources, and you have to extract zipped files after download in order to view them).

Support for individual images (images that are not from an album) would be nice too. What do you think?

Thanks again

@phihag Thanks for your reply, again, it didn’t show up in my Github inbox. I agree with what you said. For what it’s worth, I now use https://github.com/alexgisby/imgur-album-downloader when I need to download imgur albums.

Well, imgur.com/r/<xyz> is a special case, that is neither an album nor a single image.
