Off Topic Tools for downloading/archiving/sharing

Post by oliver21a »

First and foremost, r/DataHoarder and r/Piracy are probably the best resources on this, particularly the wikis: But here's a down and dirty list of some good stuff. = tools that work on a per-file basis (i.e. you have to manually download each file individually) = tools that can download content in bulk from a single operation () For a lot of sites (including Onlyfans), downloading is as simple as having your browser override the script that is disabling right-click functionality. This will allow you to do the typical "right-click>save" operation. Use this browser: It should allow you to tap-hold and save the actual file. Play the video and wait for the play button to disappear. When the screen is clear, tap and hold on the video toward the top left or right corner and the download option should appear. Images illustrate: and locks down its products like Fort Knox, so file management on iOS may be a problem. You might need to install a separate file manager to be able to access and share downloaded files. This is a popular one: () () There are quite a few browser extensions/add-ons that re-enable the right-click functionality when a website blocks it. Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy is a good one. 1) Just turn it on 2) Switch the video quality to the highest setting (usually "original") 3) right-click on your mouse, "save as" () is an awesome utility that not only will help you grab media from almost everywhere, but it also will accelerate your downloads, and allows for a bunch of great settings to manage how your downloads operate. You can have it pop up a download button on media on the webpage where it is playing, or you can input a list of URLs to download in bulk. You can either feed it specific links/URLs to download, or have it pop up a download button when media appears on a webage (great for grabbing pesky content that doesn't offer a download option.) is the holy grail of downloading apps. It's a download management tool that has almost every customization you could want. That does mean it can get complex, but if you take the time to figure out how to do what you want, it's possibly the best tool available for grabbing entire YouTube channels or videos from hundreds of other sites and automatically naming them, sorting them, and doing pretty much anything else you want. You do need to feed it the links you want to download, but once you have those, it takes care of the rest. You can set parameters like automatically name files by date and sort them into different folders for each channel, download thumbnail images and subtitle files, etc. There's a an active forum you can use for support. And the app is free and open-source. It will also download Tiktok videos . is a browser extension that allows you to batch download media content from a webpage. (You might have to try the media tab and the links tab to properly grab what you're wanting). is great. Don't be a screen-recording doofus. Get an app that will not only grab the stream for you, but can: 1) get multiple streams simultaneously 2) get HD quality (although it's only SD for the free version) 3) get the entire livestream even if you start the recording late 4) create a list of profiles to automatically record any time they go live is a software provider for...downloading stuff. If you ask me, their company/main-product name is stupid and unnecessarily confusing, as it has nothing to do with 4K resolution video. That being said, 4K Video Downloader is a simple and easy app that will download videos in best quality, including YouTube and (I think) TikTok. But they now have a dedicated TikTok app called 4k Tokkit. Their 4K Stogram app is the best in my opinion for Instagram scraping. It's totally worth getting the paid license if you download full IG accounts. (It's a one-time lifetime license, reasonably priced, and you can get a bulk license for all the products for a discount. Run a quick inet search to see if there's any coupons as well.) It will automate the process for grabbing entire Instagram accounts, including stories, and reels that are posted on the account's main page. It even includes the publish date on the filename, and the direct URL and caption for the post in the metadata. (Warning: recently IG has been cracking down on high volume API calls, and with reports of accounts being banned. So use a dummy IG account to log in to 4kStogram.) (see section below) (see above) (see and above) (see above) (see above) All you need to do is feed it the link to each post you want to download. The easiest way to grab those is use an extraction tool (I like the browser extension ). Just copy all the URLs for the posts you want, and paste that list into the JDownloader LinkGrabber. -a lot like Bibliogram above, but offers other tools like stories viewer and analytics -appears to be largely a clone of Inflact for notifying of this alternative to the original site I mentioned below (ssstiktok.io)...) allows you to paste a direct link to a tiktok post and it will generate a download link. It allows downloading without the watermark, and presumably the HQ version of the video, which is usually 720x1280. , but it's usually not the highest quality version of the video. Around 2020 June 26 TikTok started hiding the key necessary to download the high quality without the watermark. But you can still get HQ versions without the watermark for videos that were published before then by using the tiktok scraper mentioned in the scripts section below. ^There's a ton of copycats of this now. You can just search "tiktok downloader" and get plenty of results to try. If you're downloading tiktok content, use something like this to get it in better quality and without the watermark. ...Looks like it doesn't work anymore and isn't being updated. For the best in automation, if you're technologically inclined, there's some pretty good scrapers out there for mass downloading. Depending on what you want to do, no actual coding is necessary, but these command line apps and you do have to do some data plugging to set them up... currently works for OnlyFans, Fansly, and works great. If you use it, do everyone a favor and have it include the publish date of the file in the filename. It makes organization much easier. Tips: If you come across errors or can't get it to work, search in the issues section and there's a solution usually there. I have it working currently, and the only thing it isn't grabbing is stories. is supposed to be able to bypass the DRM restrictions. I haven't tried it yet, but feel free to report your feedback. (site is , because is who maintain a policy of just bowing to litigious threats. But at least they did help fight to .) This is probably the biggest and most supported project, which means it's constantly getting expanded and improved. You can use it to scrape sites for most any content you want...media, metadata, etc. from drawrowfly great. Very versatile and allows automated scraping of pretty much everything including entire accounts and metadata. There's a decent amount of support/activity in the Dis cord...but I can't get it to work anymore and there doesn't appear to be any more development going on. But you might keep an eye on it for updates. (Although, JDownloader mentioned above works for grabbing the content. Haven't tried metadata.) by Jules-WinnfieldX is great, and probably as easy as you're going to get from a script. Just follow the instructions. A lot of the popular image sharing sites these days are basically just versions of the Chevereto software. That's why so many of them look and operate almost exactly the same... jpg.church, img.kiwi, (putmega), ...they're all using the same site code, just with different branding. So worked great for those kind of sites because they were all structured the same. But it doesn't appear to be working anymore. Not sure if it'll get any updates. But CyberDropDownloader mentioned above looks to have carried on the torch. If you grab a lot of content, you're bound to end up with duplicate files. A dedup utility can be a life (and storage) saver. As with most software, there's . I'm very happy with . It's got an intuitive interface, and the options make finding and cleaning pretty easy. Get rid of exact duplicates, and then drill down even further using the image mode or audio mode to find similar content. Get rid of inferior quality or watermarked versions and only save the good stuff. Again there's a forum for support, and the company, Digital Volcano, also produces some other useful apps as well. is a sync utility that makes it really easy to back up content to other locations. It's free and open source, and along with Duplicate Cleaner it's probably one of the best programs I've ever used in terms of doing what it's supposed to do along with providing a good interface. is great for viewing and organizing media. Tons of options to set your preferences. You can even reorganize files by dragging them around in the viewer and then saving that sorting you created by batch-renaming the files. They have other tools as well. is another option that is not as feature-rich, but is smaller and lighter. It's actually a great replacement for the horrible default image viewer in Windows10. is great if you need bigger guns for batch file renaming. If you can attach it directly to the post, great. But that functionality seems to have been shoddy for a while, and then it was also deactivated and reactivated entirely a bunch of times, so it's always a crapshoot whether it will work. of course is standard, but requires registration, and it's not uncommon for content to get removed. Hoard and share on, bros. If there's anything else you'd like or you think I missed, definitely share.

My most frequent (mostly for Reddit, but also useful elsewhere) is . Also, as a Mac user - is easy to use for YT, Twitch, Vimeo (with some url digging, etc. )

There is any external site or Chrome extension that allows to dowload Instagram picture in 1800x1440 resolution. Until a few weeks ago i was using "mystalk" , but now it is almost always maintenance (or when it is online is seems that it also switched to 1350x1080 resolution)
