| 00:00:23 | <@JAA> | And to be clear, that's a sequential download of the items. |
| 00:03:03 | <HP_Archivist> | Okay thanks for the correction. And yeah I am confused - you say that as if it's bad. It'll download one item's files at a time, in it's own folder, correct? |
| 00:04:02 | <HP_Archivist> | For exmaple, if I ia download archive-item-example it'll download that into a folder with that item's files. If I use the ia download --search 'uploader:exampleemail' etc that will do the same thing or no? |
| 00:04:14 | <@JAA> | Correct |
| 00:04:28 | <@JAA> | I say it as if it's bad because your original question was about parallelising that part. :-) |
| 00:05:01 | <HP_Archivist> | Ahhh well yes. My bad for being all over the place with questions heh |
| 00:05:17 | <@JAA> | The command above will download each matching item, sequentially, one file after the other, each item into its own directory with the identifier as the dir name. |
| 00:05:48 | <HP_Archivist> | But yup, that's fine with me. As long as each item has its own folder that's what I want. |
| 00:05:50 | <HP_Archivist> | Yup ^ |
| 00:07:12 | <HP_Archivist> | This saves me a lot of time JAA. So I appreciate the help. I didn't want to have to download those video items just yet. Things like CD-ROM dumps and scans, descriptions and metadata. All that was super tedious. And in the event something is taken down...I wanna make sure I have up-to-date source on it locally. |
| 00:07:12 | <@JAA> | And of course you can use the same query for downloading it in parallel if you want: `ia search --itemlist 'uploader:harrypotterarchival@gmail.com -collection:game_replays' | xargs -P 8 -n 1 ia download` |
| 00:07:26 | <@JAA> | Will do the exact same thing, except 8 items are downloaded at once. |
| 00:07:46 | <HP_Archivist> | Hm |
| 00:08:01 | <@JAA> | (But each item's files are still downloaded sequentially.) |
| 00:08:21 | <@JAA> | All of this assumes a sane shell, by the way, not a Windows terminal. Just in case. :-) |
| 00:08:59 | <HP_Archivist> | Well, unfortunately, I'm stuck with the Insanity that you insist is Windows haha |
| 00:09:28 | <HP_Archivist> | But I suppose I could always just change the number to, say, 4 instead of 8 to be on the safe side |
| 00:09:37 | <@JAA> | Well, then you probably don't have xargs, quoting rules are different, and I have no idea whether piping even works. |
| 00:09:43 | <@JAA> | Unless you use WSL etc. |
| 00:10:15 | <HP_Archivist> | Yeah that's what I've been using to test individual item downloads with ia download etc |
| 00:10:18 | <@JAA> | Windows terminal is weird. |
| 00:10:29 | <@JAA> | Ah, ok. Yeah, then it should be fine I guess. |
| 00:10:55 | <@JAA> | And yeah, I now remember the recent discussion about how to find the data downloaded within WSL. |
| 00:11:52 | <HP_Archivist> | Yup. Jake showed me how to navigate. Though unless I change the directory output at the start, it'll still default back to wherever that is. I never found out where. |
