Internet Archive Downloader

Simple downloader that accepts a few arguments on the command line and does it's thing.

Output of Help

usage: iadownloader.py [-h] [-u URL] [-o OUTPUT] [-g GLOB_PATTERN] [-v VERBOSE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u, --url             Input URL (the bit after archive.org/download/THISSTUFFHERE)
  -o, --output          Output directory, if not specified it will download here
  -g, --glob_pattern    Glob Pattern if you only want certian files (ie. *7z, *mkv, *png)
  -v, --verbose         Verbose, whether you want to see the output

Example

$ python3 iadownloader.py -u YOURURLHERE -o ~/Downloads -g *mkv -v

In this example the python interpreter will execute the iadownloader.py script with the following options:

  • URL where you want it to download to (Keep in mind that it will create a folder named the same as your URL to download into)
  • Output folder to download to ie. ~/Downloads or /home/$USERNAME/Downloads
  • Glob Pattern, which in this case would be just the mkv files in the archive your downloading
  • Verbose option meaning I want to watch it work and see the progress of each download
