WARNING: Downloading this archive can use a lot of bandwidth, especially if you're doing a recursive download. If you have a data cap on your internet, it's recommended to not download this shit.
Step 1. Download VisualWget from Sourceforge. https://sourceforge.net/projects/visualwget/
Step 2. Install and run.
Step 3. Click new.
Step 4. In the URL field fill in, "http://titan.zizzydizzymc.info"; (NOTE: this will download the entire archive, which is >100GB. For more arguments, read further)
Step 5. Check recursive download.
Step 6. Click OK, which will start the job.
I don't know how big the archive is, but I've downloaded 60GB over the course of 3 days and I'm less than halfway through a single directory. I've downloaded about 800,000 files.
How to download selectively:
In the URL field, after the base URL, select only specific subdirectories. The root directories are:
bs-attachement: Attached files from Bronysquare. These include PMs, comments, blogs, and photo posts.
bs-pics: Uploaded files from Bronysquare. These include profile pictures and photos uploaded to albums.
ps-attachment: Attached files from Ponysquare. These include PMs, comments, blogs, and photo posts.
ps-pics: Uploaded files from Ponysquare. These include profile pictures and photos uploaded to albums.
So for example, if you just wanted to download the directory with the photos people attached to their blogs on Ponysquare, you'd type in "http://titan.zizzydizzymc.info/ps-attachment";.
Within each of those main directories there are a bunch of other directories.
For x-pics its:
accountapi: empty
ad: empty
affiliates: some stupid logos from other sites
app: logos for browsers.
badge: user badge images (moderator, head moderator, ect.)
bettermobile: stock images as far as I can tell
block: empty
bookmark: bunch of social media logos, useless.
egift: empty
emoticon: custom smilies that were used on the site (highly suggest you download this).
event: pictures that were uploaded with events.
flag: empty except for the British Colony flag.
group: empty
icon: various mobile site icons and shit. Mostly useless.
lost+found: empty
marketplace: empty
music: pictures uploaded with audio files.
pages: pictures uploaded with pages.
photo: the meat. Has >1m pictures that users have uploaded
poll: pictures uploaded with polls.
quiz: pictures uploaded with quizzes.
subscribe: empty
user: also really big. Dunno how many files are in there, but it's a lot.
video: empty
watermark: contains the framework logo.
x-attachment is sorted by year, then it has a bunch of random files up in the root. No idea what the difference is there.
After I've got everything I might zip it up and then make a torrent, who knows.

I'd also like to say that Snow Sailor attests that there's nothing in there from PMs. I disagree but...They say they removed everything of that sort.
Okay so I'm confused I've had this thing running for a while and don't see much of anything. I've tried with a smaller, more specific part of the archive and turned nothing. Where is this even downloading to? I can't seem to set a directory for the downloaded files and there's nothing in the contain... View More
Waait nvm I just realized where I fucked it.
Though I've noticed that, in following your directions, the tool will actively go even beyond where it's directed to download. I selected only 2012/10/ and it had absolutely no hesitation to download every single year and beyond.
i have a 500 gig hardrive laying around. might as well jack this
