# archive-dl

An archive.org media downloader

## Purpose

I wrote this python script to make it easier to download all the videos, music, or zip files from a user or collection on archive.org from the terminal.

## Useage

The default behavior of this script is to look for videos, mp4's, first, followed by mkv's, and finally avi's and write the list of found video urls in a text file where you can go over them and download them with wget or someother utility. 

If the --audio flag is set it will look instead for mp3's and do the same. 

If the -d flag is set it will automatically download the video files in the directory that the script is ran from. 

Other features are the --batch flag which will allow you to download from a batch of user and collection urls listed in a plain text file. The -w flag allows you to name the textfile, and the -l flag will simply list the found videos in the terminal.

```
