Best programs for downloading all pictures from websites

Some of my clients are looking for programs or ways to download all pictures from websites. They don't have the time to manually do this themselves and are looking for a way of doing this automatically. They want these programs to crawl the entire website and download all of the pictures and movies onto their hard drives for offline viewing.

What are the best programs or methods for doing this?

A simple google search will give you plenty of results for web scrapers - not gonna give you any suggestions as it an inherently wrong way to get web pages (especially as you only intend to download images and videos which take up the websites bandwidth and they may be relying on advertising revenue, for example, to show such)

It is unlikely that a tool can work for all websites.

Some websites are using ASP.NET technology and it is difficult to make auto download of media files to be an easy task.

You should ask the clients for what kind of websites are involved before you do any recommendations.

Do you know of any other programs or methods than the ones you recommended two years ago?

I'm always on the lookout for the latest software and ways of doing things.
