hi,
using the command "gallery-dl gelbooru" gives me the error

I'm using windows 7 and installed on python 3.51

I realize that this answer is half a year late - sorry about that - but better late than never.

gallery-dl expects URLs as arguments. Generally you should visit the site you want to download images from with your web browser, copy the URL from the urlbar and paste this into your console.

In your specific case:

  • on gelbooru search for the tags you are interested in (for example: touhou)
  • copy the URL (http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=touhou)
  • use this URL as argument for gallery-dl:
    • gallery-dl "http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=touhou"
    • because this URL contains ampersands (&), you have to put double-quotation marks (") around it

if you want to stop before all images have been downloaded, press ctrl + c
