• Bypass download limits?

  For sites with limited download speeds I usually use aria2 (via terminal) since it supports segmented/multi connection downloading. But I guess this wouldn't work with 1fichier, since with these sites you usually don't get direct link to the file and/or sites like these limit the number of parallel connections. I also used it for torrents for a while, but I wouldn't recommend doing this anymore. Source: 5 months ago

• What actually gets you in trouble with torrenting? Downloading or seeding?

  You could try a tool like https://aria2.github.io. Source: about 1 year ago

• What is the best and fast way to move 30 TB of data from one site to another side a few block down the street?

  A simple example of parallel transfers of a single file are Byte-range: HTTP requests. An example of one off-the-shelf tool that does this is aria2, but there are many libraries, and it's not difficult to write code from scratch. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to download and store 900 3 hour videos in a month?

  Like others here, I also recommend using https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp to download the videos. Pair it with https://aria2.github.io/ as an external downloader to get the max speed download. Source: about 1 year ago

• Video downloader

  I've used "aria2" download application CLI which was good / useful e.g. https://aria2.github.io/ (not sure that's even the right official site), And it LOOKS like there may be some web add on extension someone wrote to use it from firefox, but I've zero experience with browser integration of it.

• Does anyone know a way of downloading the Deep Dive videos from Bandcamp?

  Definitely don’t use any of those screen recording apps - that’s just brute forcing it, you’re reencoding the content and losing a ton of video and audio quality. Any embedded video online (unless is uses DRM, which is not this case) can be extracted and downloaded in original quality. If you’re on a Mac, I strongly recommend using Downie, it’s a great piece of software. https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/... Source: 10 months ago

• Fabio Quagliarella emotional substitution

  Though it’s for downloading videos and not screen capping DRM videos, I can’t recommend Downie enough. Source: 11 months ago

• Traffic cameras for apple tv

  Downie is just an old-school macOS download manager I'm fond of - nothing special. Source: about 1 year ago

• Apple A17 Bionic SoC Performance Targets Could be Lowered

  If that sentence sounds confusing then you might want to check out some wrapper apps that are much easier to use. Downie is a paid option, but a lot of people seem to like it. There are other options, but they all use youtube dl internally and function the same. Source: about 1 year ago
