Which spider should I use?
Hello all,

I noticed there are 3 spider plugin for LinksSQL. But I don't know which one is most suitable for me.

GT spider

I just want to spider a link site which link to a lot of image galleries. I just want the script can grab the url and description (description is linked to url) and put it in the db. I don't evey need the script to spider the image galleries.

One additional feature that I love to have is grab a thumbnail image in the image galleries and save it in my server. But I think the above scripts can't do that.

Can anybody suggest me which spider should I go? Thanks for any comments.

It may be best getting a custom plugin if you want to grab the images too.

I hate to sound like that was just the preface to spam, but I can write one for you.
