## What it is
X-Spider is a desktop media downloader for X (Twitter) that fetches images and videos from accounts. It supports media filters, configurable file naming, proxy, and cookie login. The project is no longer maintained, with a paid successor offered.

## Use cases
- download all images and videos from a twitter account
- bulk save twitter media with date range filters
- archive twitter media with custom file naming
- download twitter videos through a proxy
- skip already downloaded twitter media

## When to choose
- you need a GUI tool to bulk-download media from X/Twitter accounts on Windows
- you want configurable file names, date filters, and resume-style skipping of existing files

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software or bug fixes
- you need a headless or API-based scraper for servers
- you need support for platforms other than X/Twitter
