Almost certainly the HTML files will not contain the code for the actual pictures; they will just contain an ‘href’ node with the address to load the picture file from. If the web pages are built to a regular pattern, you should be able to parse them and locate the href nodes you want. I haven’t found any problem with the parse from XMLHTMLParser taking up too much memory. My machine has 4GB ram; if you have much less than that, you might have trouble. If you have found a systematic way to locate the picture file, you could minimise the size of the DOM the parser creates, by using a streaming parser. The streaming version of Monty’s parser is called StAXHTMLParser. I have a bit of experience playing with these parsers. If you get stuck, ask again here with more details; I may be able to help.

Vivaldi seems better at not bloating up RAM
