Started downloading my Youtube liked videos back in 2009 (and keeping it updated ever since). +10k videos ~1.5 TB. It's pretty much nothing and a huge chunk of them gone forever from the site, especially pre-2010 ones.

  How long until there's a torrent tracker for removed YouTube videos?

Do you have an automatic setup to do this, or is it a manual process?

  yt-dlp Automatically you can only download the most recent 100 liked videos. So if you have a huge library first download the list (even Google Takeout supports that), you just need the video IDs then feed it to yt-dlp. The rest, like quality, are personal preference. Like I usually max at 1080p and never download DASH videos. When you are up to date you can still automate it. For example download once a week but I pretty much download everything asap even manually because I know Google can remove it quick or even sometimes the uploader.

I've been scouring the internet ever since then, looking for mirrors of the channel, and one video in particular [1]. It's a long shot, but maybe you or someone else reading this could help, so I'll leave the links here: [0]: https://web.archive.org/web/20151129103353/https://www.youtube.com/user/nimber/featured https://web.archive.org/web/20151129103353/https://www.youtu...
