Description

waybackpack 'https://imgur.com/a/004iJ' -d .\Target\ just downloads .\Target\20230602073430\imgur.com\a\004iJ.html where 004iJ.html is a very basic looking page with a few links that weighs 1/5 the size of any of the images I'm actually interested in downloading. None of the images are downloaded.

Research direction

Start by reproducing waybackpack 'https://imgur.com/a/004iJ' -d .\Target\ and tracing how the CLI handles the archived Imgur page. The issue is resolved when the command downloads the images rather than only the basic 004iJ.html page and its links.
