Author: bengalih
Version: 1.3
Date: 07/03/09
NOTICES
07/04/09 - Added kcandjohn and muntrue repositories (download add-on pack below) - Happy 4th of July!
07/03/09 - Version 1.3 is out. Please use the repository files that come with the new version. If you have created your own repository files you may need to update them according to the new format. Also you will need to create your config.txt file again as some variables have changed.
07/02/09 - The wiiboxart.com site owner has blocked the version 1.0 of this tool from downloading from the site.
Even going so far to blacklist those IP addresses using it. The new version of DownloadCovers (1.2) currently works with wiiboxart (and other sites as well!) and does not get you blacklisted. However, the site owner of wiiboxart.com may make additional changes to block and ban users of this application.
Updates with 1.3:
- Fixed various minor issues with the program and the sample titlesdb.txt file
- Added more logging and notifications
- Updated and added site image repositories.
- Changed some default values
Updates with 1.2:
- Default site repository changed from wiiboxart.com to T35 host (wiiboxart.t35.com)
- Full image resize capabilites! (images resize locally after download)
- Support for multiple site image repositories. Add your own!(read below for more)
- Comprehensive customization with the config.txt files
- Added more notifications and error checking
Suggestions to improve functionality are welcome!
What does it do?
This tool reads a simple file of titles and downloads any image types you want (normal, widescreen, 3d, full, various disc types) from multiple image repository sources.
You can filter based on region, choose which image types, set download locations, RESIZE, and more - all through a simple config file!

Anyone who:
1) Doesn't want to pay for boxart from sites that go against the spirit of the open community.
2) Don't have a WiFi connection on their Wii to download art directly.
3) Uses a USB loader that doesn't directly download from the internet.
4) Uses multiple USB loaders and wants to better organize their images.
5) Wants to manage local repositories of images on a local or remote web server.
6) Wants to perform resize operations on downloaded images .
