bulk-downloader-for-reddit VS yt-dlp

Until now, I ran a script every day using bulk-downloader-for-reddit to archive about ten subreddits. It usually took less than an hour each time, even when he had to download video files of a few hundred MB.

Look into bdfr, it's a cli reddit downloader.

I'm with you! I've already mass edited all my comments on both and removed all my submissions on this account, and my other/older one. Just waiting on bdfr to finish pulling all of my saved things for me, then I'll delete both. I may just be a tiny drop in the user ocean, but some of my posts definitely helped others and contributed useful things.

FWIW I just backed up my sub with bulk-downloader-for-reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1479c7b/historic_reddit_archives_ongoing_archival_effort/ -> https://github.com/aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit

A GDPR export should have all the data, but they’re taking their time processing. An alternative is to use an archiving tool like BDFR. Unfortunately, it’s limited to 1000 posts due to API limitations.

r/DataHoarder was the big reason I started using Reddit regularly. While I don't speak for all of them, many will suggest bdfr or HTTrack for all your scraping needs.

I’m going to delete my Reddit account soon to further the protest, since by this point I don’t use it much anymore. I already backed up my entire post history using this tool since there are some important memories there for me, so I basically have nothing to lose now.

On Win10, I download the .exe from the latest release here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.03.19419

For those who still have this issue and are on Windows and need a fix right now just go and download the "yt-dlp.exe" from here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.01.19419

The issue is already fixed in the code so if you compile from the code your issue will be fixed. Personally though I just downloaded the daily build and that seemed to fix the issue https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp

Temporarily, you could also install the unofficial daily build of yt-dlp from here.

Get the latest unofficial build from here. 🙂

It seems Youtube did change something internally so the old yt-dlp exe file (which the Cinema mode uses) no longer works. Found a fix: Go here to download the latest yt-dlp exe file: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.02.17.334. Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Beat Saber\Libs on your PC and replace the old yt-dlp.exe file with the new one you just downloaded. And it should fix Cinema mod. I just tried and it works for me now!

So, if you want this fix "as an .exe", just download the unofficial daily build from here, or compile yourself.

Have you tried the latest daily release? https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases I had problems with throttling too, but switching to the daily release fixed it for me, you get the most recent fixes, but it might be not as stable, the original yt-dlp was updated a month ago

Until the next update of yt-dlp, you could try with the unofficial daily build, made by @Lesmiscore: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp.
