The most critical element to this project is the interface
to the downloading utility.

I have come up with some areas where improvements
should be targeted:

1) GUI Interface, preferably multi-platform. Currently I
am considering wxWindows and a Win32-Linux Borland
widget library.

2) Browser interfacing: many pr0n sites use access
controls and the current implementation does not
support any method of "borrowing" web browser access
credentials, cookies, or referrer header data to enable
downloads from access-controlled sites.

    I have chosen to proceed with the Borland CLX Toolkit, which
    is used by both the Linux and Win32 version of Borland C++
    Builder. This will require me learning how to program GUI
    software.

    Since I am almost finished with college for the year,
    development of this will hopefully begin soon.

    Stay tuned for future developments in this area.

    Regarding browser interfacing, further investigation is
    warranted before any concrete decisions are made. Quite
    possibly, this would involve the coding of a Mozilla plug-in.

    While the Mozilla plug-in option is perfectly valid, it would be
    useful if the program could be run outside of Mozilla as well.
    Essentially have an optional plug-in interface. While the GUI
    could be constrained to the plugin, leave console support. Or
    provide for console, GUI, and plug-in interfaces.

    Lastly, it'd be useful to have ports of the plugin for other
    browsers, eg konquerer, et all...
