Image Scraper (beautifulsoup), stopped working, need to help see why

[woodmister]

I wrote a little script 6 months or so ago with some help from a friend. It looked at a website and got the images from it. It used to work, but stopped working a week or so ago, on any machine I have. I'm really new to all this, and had to piece together the first one I wrote before we got it cleaned up.

I don't get any error message at all. So it's hard to troubleshoot what could have changed.

Here's the website I'm trying to get images from:

Here is the code I've been using. I went through lots of iterations but this was the final one I had.

##########################################
#######    This is section for the main imports
import requests
import wget
import os

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from tqdm import tqdm
from urllib.parse import urljoin, urlparse
from time import time
from multiprocessing.pool import ThreadPool
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
from time import sleep

##########################################
#######    This is section for choosing site and save folder
url = ''
folder = ''

url = input("Website:")
folder = input("Folder:")

##########################################
#######    This section I have NO idea what it does.  :)  Sets parser for sure
r  = requests.get(url, stream = True)
data = r.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, features = "lxml")

##########################################
#######    This section grabs all pictures tagged download and makes folders
for tag in soup.select('a.parent[download]'):
    dlthis = ('https:' + tag['href'])
    path = os.path.join(folder, tag['download'])
    myfile = requests.get(dlthis, allow_redirects=True, stream = True)
    if not os.path.isdir(folder):
        os.makedirs(folder)

##########################################
#######    Section for Saving Files, both work    
#    with open(path, 'wb') as f:
#        f.write(myfile.content)
    open(path, 'wb').write(myfile.content)
    
##########################################

I have iterations that do multi-thread, and basic ones that just print out the links. But, I can't seem to get it to show anything at all. I'm sure it has something to do with the request and parse from beautifulsoup

Any help you can give would be awesome. Thank You!

So, before I posted this, I wanted to make sure I tested everything I knew to test. So, I played around with it a little more. and it looks like there is a security feature installed now to probably block exactly what i'm trying to do... So, is there any way around it? Or a better way to pull pictures? Here's what I'm seeing:
