Imgur serves a '''massive''' amount of traffic with no signs of slowing. In 2012 alone, 42 petabytes of data were transferred. Fortunately, the amount of images uploaded is much less, albeit still a lot. In 2012, around 300,000,000 images were uploaded; assuming an average size of 120KB, that's 36TB in one year. | Imgur serves a '''massive''' amount of traffic with no signs of slowing.

When archiving a larger gallery, eg. <tt>https://imgur.com/gallery/PTFfu</tt>, a simple [[ArchiveBot]] !ao won't do because of the JavaScript "load more" button. However, you can append /zip to the URL to get all pictures in full like so: <tt>https://imgur.com/gallery/PTFfu/zip</tt>. | |||

Imgur is an image hosting service.

Archiving galleries
When archiving a larger gallery, eg. https://imgur.com/gallery/PTFfu, a simple ArchiveBot !ao won't do because of the JavaScript "load more" button. However, you can append /zip to the URL to get all pictures in full like so: https://imgur.com/gallery/PTFfu/zip.
