volafile.org files and chat downloader
Tested with Python 3.6.2 on Windows 10 (It should work anywhere).
Install all the required libraries:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Feel free to edit the config file with your own options, most of the stuff in there have comments with a little explanation. You don't have to edit it, it should work as is.
config.py
You need to have the chromium drivers, you can download the chromium drivers from their official website, go to http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads and download the drivers and place them in a directory, example: "drivers/chromedriver.exe".
If you are using Linux, MacOS, other OS or you have the chrome driver installed in other path, just change the path of the chromedriver in the config file. You might need to give permissions to the file, example: sudo chmod +x chromedriver
Download all files from a room:
λ python volafile-downloader.py -r roomname
And with a password
λ python volafile-downloader.py -r roomname -p 123456

λ python volafile-downloader.py -r roomname -l
Download all files from a room and loops to check if new files were added and also downloads the chat logs (The download of chat logs only work with the download loop (-l argument), check the FAQ for more information)

Where can I download the drivers?
You can download the drivers from the official chromium website http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
Why I only can download the chat log with the loop argument (-l)?
Because when you enter a room you don't have access to the chat messages that were sent before you entered the room, unless you were in the room when the other people sent the message. I believe the messages are not being saved in the Volafile servers and only are being send and received by Web Sockets and then saved in your computer.
