Feature request: Download entire 4chan board

[TheOddball]

Just a light feature request. Provide a board, get the whole thing. All threads and all images.

I would really like this. :)

The main issue with downloading an entire board is the lack of parallelism in gallery-dl. Downloading everything from every thread can take a long time and the last few threads will probably be deleted once gallery-d gets to them.

The best option would most likely be to get a list of all threads with gallery-dl -g 4chan.org/<board> and then spawning multiple downloaders in parallel.

@mikf Agreed. Seems also like downloading an entire board would exceed/go beyond gallery-dl‘s capabilities and purpose. something like wget or using the boards APi would make more sense
