# How does it works:
|
|
|
|
First, the program downloads the full profile. After the program downloads only new posts. The program remembers downloaded posts.
|
|
|
|
## Reddit
|
|
|
|
The program parses all user posts, obtain MD5 images hash and compares them with existing ones to remove duplicates. Then the media will be downloaded.
|
|
|
|
## Other sites
|
|
|
|
The program parses all user posts and compares file names with existing ones to remove duplicates. Then the media will be downloaded.
|
|
|
|
