Features:

• search for regular expressions in pasties
• (optional) only trigger on X hits in the same pastie
• (optional) exclude matching pasties if exclusion regex matches
• flexible design, minimal effort to add another paste* site
• uses multiple threads per unique site to download the pastes
• waits a random time (within a range) before downloading the latest pastes, time customizable per site
• (optional) uses random User-Agents
• (optional) uses random proxies
• removes a proxy if it is unreliable (fails 5 times)
• use custom download functions for complex pastie sites
• (optional) compress saved files with Gzip. (no zip to limit external dependencies)
