Downloading

Alex edited this page Apr 2, 2021 · 4 revisions

All examples in this section includes the --latest flag, as not specifying a category will result in a massive download.

To download the latest videos:

jwb-index --latest -d

If you want human readable names:

jwb-index --latest -d --friendly

You can also download .vtt files:

jwb-index --latest --download-subtitles 

Speed limit

The download speed is by default throttled to 1 megabyte/s. To change it to 10 MB/s:

jwb-index --latest -d --limit-rate 10

To disable limit:

jwb-index --latest -d --limit-rate 0

I put the limit there so this script won't become such a bandwith hog to jw.org. I don't know if that makes any sense, but at least it feels better in theory.

File integrity check

By default the script only checks the size of downloaded files. You can check MD5 checksums, but that can be quite CPU intensive:

jwb-index --latest -d --checksum

To check all local files and re-download broken or updated ones:

jwb-index --latest -d --checksum --fix-broken
