- pavel_lishin 2mo agoRemember to choose the `tar` version, not the `zip` one, unless you like downloading ten thousand zip files one by one. The tar files can be up to 50GB, the zip ones are much smaller.
- plorg 2mo agoThe zip files can be up to 50GB as well, but they recently changed something on the backend so that if you do use the zip option you may still get however many 50GB files then maybe a 1MB, a 7kB, and a 1GB file, I assume because of the way they parallelize the tasks. I don't know if the tar option behaves in the same way.
- pavel_lishin 2mo agoOh, interesting - I wonder if that's new. The last time I checked (granted, a few years ago), it was limited to something much smaller. I have noticed that the tar files toward the end tend to be smaller, but they still typically weigh in at multiple gigs apiece - 37, 14, etc.
- tehlike 2mo agoDid the same. One issue was the links had some # of retries you can do before they become invalid. Solved it first by exporting them to google drive instead :D
