Presently, Image Downloadr relies on the Google Images API. Google limits the number of searches over a given time period. Image Downloadr does what it can to throttle the requests but eventually Google will throttle the inbound requests and you won't be able to get any more results for a while.

They state that they reset every 24 hours or so. So in the short term, give it a little bit of time and come back to it. We are working on a new version that does not rely on Google Images API but still won't violate any terms of use agreements.

We will keep you posted and update Image Downloadr as soon as possible.

Just issued a 3.4 update that should take care of this.

Google API only allows so many requests per second so we throttled the requests on big downloads.

Hi
the 3.4 works better but after around 200 queries I think, it will stop working again, just stuck in one of the search query showing 'searching' command without any progress.

please check
