Feel free to use the code, but please share the changes you've made

Features:

  • search for regular expressions in pasties
  • flexible design, minimal effort to add another paste* site
  • use custom download functions for complex pastie sites
  • uses multiple threads per unique site to download the pastes
  • waits a random time (within a range) before downloading the latest pastes, time customizable per site
  • (optional) only trigger on X hits in the same pastie
  • (optional) exclude matching pasties if exclusion regex matches
  • (optional) allow additional email recipients per search pattern
  • (optional) uses random User-Agents
  • (optional) uses random proxies
  • removes a proxy if it is unreliable (fails 5 times)
  • (optional) compress saved files with Gzip. (no zip to limit external dependencies)

Limitations:

  • Only HTTP proxies are allowed
