That's mine, btw! Thanks for posting. I'm currently downloading the rest of videos from all the posts from WPD. Out of a total of 37864 posts, it still needs to download 269, 23434 could be downloaded, and the rest are either dead links or it doesn't know how to extract the video from the page. So it should be done in a few hours, then I still need to filter out garbage (dead links but where it still downloaded something, like a text file, or stuff that is spam/unrelated)

Of course, I can't host all that on MEGA since it's currently 250GB in size, so I'll probably put up a torrent with all the videos, and additionally set up a page on my website with links to the original videos for people who don't want to download all that (since I don't want to host all those videos directly on my site).

It'll be listed on this page when it's done, I guess: https://therealfarfetchd.dev/wpd/

Our hero! It was on zeronet and I figured enough people would want to see it elsewhere too. Thanks for doing this service for all of us!

Sounds like someone was prepared for what happened.

I started this (well, not the huge archive, but videoarchivebot, whose files I turned into the smaller archive after WPD got banned) right after the Morocco beheading video was deleted by the reddit admins, to make sure that stuff could still be accessed after the original links went down, or a post was removed again in the future. So in a way, I kinda was? Didn't expect WPD to get banned though.
