## What it is
hardseed is a C++ command-line tool that scrapes adult forum threads (aicheng, caoliu) to batch-download images and torrent seed files, with proxy support via goagent or user-supplied proxies. It automates parsing thread lists, pagination, and image URLs with retry logic.

## Use cases
- batch download images from forum threads
- scrape torrent files from adult forums
- bulk download picture sets from aicheng or caoliu
- download forum attachments through a proxy
- automate saving thread images with retry on slow downloads

## When to choose
- you need a self-contained C++ CLI to bulk-download images and torrents from the supported forums
- you want configurable proxy support and automatic retry for flaky downloads

## When to avoid
- the target forums have changed addresses or shut down, since the project has not been updated since 2018
- you need a general-purpose web scraper for arbitrary sites
- you require a maintained tool with active support or modern platforms
