I downloaded 10GB+ worth of 2000+ videos posted on WPD, thanks for this tho, it'll come in handy.

Yeah, that's probably mine as well (third link on the page in the OP), if it was hosted on MEGA.

Damn this is impressive. The full archive is gonna be over 100 GB

[–][deleted] 8 insightful - 3 fun8 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

Yup, second archive is almost exactly 250 GB of videos. Too bad I lost it all because I had to restore my user partition from a 2 weeks old backup, so I gotta write all the tools I made to create that archive again and then download all that again. \o/

(and I guess I'm doing backups more often now)

Is a link going to be posted once its recovered?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah, I will post a link. Haven't gotten around to it yet, though.

Is the second archive referring to the "wpd archive #2" link on https://dblsaiko.net/wpd?

Or are you referring to something different when you say second archive? I'm guessing the wpd archive #2 is the second archive but with original content links, not downloaded and hosted like you did with the "wpd archive" link with 2000 posts, but wanted to double check because I don't remember there ever being a time without "wpd archive #2" link and I believe I was here from the very beginning.

Also, it seems like there are large chunks of time missing from the wpd archive #2. Like, there will be a 100 or so posts on one day, then no posts for 30 days. I see the same thing if I do searches through api.pushshift.io. Was just wondering if you knew what that means, did pushshift just not archive wpd during those large chunks of time?

How is this even possible? Did you archive the sub before it got nuked?

[–][deleted] 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Partially. The 2000 post one I archived myself, it's just the files from videoarchivebot, for the big one I got the data from pushshift.io (example)

Thanks for all the good work!

This link is now unreachable for some reason

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Still works for me. If not, you want https://dblsaiko.net/wpd (that's what the link in the OP now redirects to)
