  The --checksum switch of ia verifies the hashes.

  first, i've tried python and internetarchive scripts only on XP/Vista with the corresponding version for those OS, without success. I moved to linux, instead. While I have a Raspberry Pi (RPi), I tried first on a Virtual Machine, under Windows. I chose Debian (that's what I run on the RPi) but also had a go at FreeBSD. Both have packages (binaries) ready to go and worked flawlessly. From your post, you have enough skills to set up a virtual machine and install a mainstream linux distro, which is basically downloading an iso, mounting it on the VM, clicking next,next,next,ok,done. You then would boot into the desktop and open the CLI (command line interface). Installing internet archive and python is just a matter of copy pasting a couple of commands. On linux, the internet archive package is https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/internetarchive and I find it easier than grabbing the binaries through cURL, setting up permissions and whatnot. same for python3. it'll do it's thing (grabs all the files it needs, installs, cleans, all automated, and when it's done you're back at the prompt ($ <-- you asked what this operator means in Python but I think you mean when it shows on the documentation; it's just a command prompt, like it would be on windows cmd, for example c:\archives\uploads> waiting for a command) and ready to throw commands. you first need to setup with your credentials. just ia configure it'll ask all it needs and you're ready to upload stuff. mass uploading different items s basically entering the same command for as many times as it's needed. ia does this for you, using a CSV file -- this involves a bit of pre-processing but when set and done it'll save you a lot of time and wait.

• I'm using 'screen' for some background tasks on a headless RPi server and it doesn't show progress info. Works fine outside it.

  More specifically i'm using ia internetarchive, and Putty 0.75 to log into the Pi. All is updated and outside a screen session works fine. When transfering files I get a progress bar, %, speed and timestamps. But when on a screen all I get it the name of the file being uploaded and nothing else. It only changes when one file finishes and moves to the next or when all is uploaded. No other progress info.
