Well I woke up, tried to do more with Jdownloader, failed, then went back to the ytdlp gui. Redownloaded my cookies, and so far it seems to be working properly. Of course, I can picture in my head my internet cutting out and me failing to get everything. Who knows I guess.
What's the point in downloading them?
What's the point in downloading them?Due to them being paywalled, it means fewer people are likely to have seen and saved them. People can be fickle and delete/hide years and years worth of videos that I would consider valuable.

115/792 and still going :0221/792 now lol, I cannot believe my internet hasnt gone out and made things harder for me. It notoriously (for me) goes out much more than Id like generally.

I'd like to complain about the relative slowness, but I don't think that's fair, considering the volume of videos and the fact it's still going.

I think if I'd been doing it through Jdownloader, it may have been faster... but that one didn't work for me, and this is still going, so gg.
What issues are you having with the command line yt-dlp? Seems pretty straightforward.Well I mentioned the guide wanted me to download a very specific ffmpeg, and the link I was directed to did not trigger a download. Then I was uncertain if the other links were acceptable for what I wanted. I was already frustrated with the whole thing, so I just wasn't in the mood. But the gui version started to work for me, so all's well.

I also use this site for my youtube video downloads:Thanks for the idea. I'm not sure if I could insert my cookies into the site, which I'd need to do, but it's good for future reference.

I had a brief outage at 790, which wouldn't have been so bad, but annoying. Took longer than I expected, but now it's done. I ought to figure out a better way to store this. I know external hard drives don't last forever, though this one is pretty new
