Manga Downloader

MangaDownlader is a simple Java automatic tool to download manga from MangaEden.

The project resulted from the need to download a lot of mangas and it was a Java experiment with:

• Multithreading programming
• Swing GUI library
• HTML parsing with [jsoup] library

Functionality

MangaDownloader can download an entire manga or resume a previously download. It is helpfull when the manga is not over and a new chapter is released.

Every manga is stored in a foldier in your file system, which is divided into many foldiers as there are chapters (each chapter is downloaded in multithreading).

Also Ubuntu user can use a bash scripts, located in extractPdfFromJPGs, to extract a pdf from the downloaded images.
