Request: Download In Reverse Order - (handle page types where new content is added to the top)

Open ExodusHour opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Is there anyway to download in reverse order? When downloading from Gfycat it downloads the recently posted first so when you go back to download new gifs you start getting duplicates of 001, 002 and so on.

There's a general problem here of not really handling the case where new content is added at the top of the list of things that will be ripped. Rippers should implement this functionality but we should make it easier for new and existing rippers to declare this is the case. It's generally a difficult problem with sequential numbers in the case that content is deleted from the middle as well. At some point the numbers are wrong. An alternative numbering scehem like the timestamp of the content would work better in cases where it can be known.

I'm thinking about a general approach to handle all such cases.
