Not that I advocate websuck of porn sites... However;
These tools rely on following links just as you would when you are web
browsing. Porn sites often have user/password access that may or may not
set a level of security that would make anonymous downloading some
what more difficult. It kind of depends on how the developer has written
their code. If for example the user/password combination only points you
to a unrestricted URL not linked from the main/anonymous page then it is
only a matter of using that URL in your wget etc session.
No doubt searching through newsgroups (google etc) would give you the
pattern that the developer used and even with a series of for/next loops
in the wget etc script. You could let it sit there for days on end going
through all the possible alpha/numeric combinations of folder/filenames
to get what you are after!
To give you an idea what is possible, I wrote some test code to extract
a database from a website where the URL was of the form;
http://www.vv.gov.au/data/record?rec=104468
By using a for/next loop of sequential record nunbers and making the
record number a replacable variable I would have been able to suck the
entire database down. Useless to me mind you but all very possible.
What has been useful for me (keeping it OT) was that I sucked the entire
http://www.cebik.com antenna website to my local drive so lookups and
browsing is much faster. I periodically used the refresh/update feature
as the website changes. Some may question the legality/copywrite issues
of this but since it is for my personal use I doubt there is a problem.
