-
pabsI expect some substacks will disappear as a result
-
fireonliveare we aware of any issues ABing substack?
-
fireonliveor is it just normal yeet it though
-
pabsIIRC there are paywalls on some sites
-
» pabs hasn't done any AB for it tho
-
fireonliveah ok
-
pokechu22I've done it via AB before and I believe there is some rate-limiting but it isn't too particular
-
pabsthis site contains some mediafire and Google Drive links, wondering how to save them quadra605.mcdonnelltech.com
-
thubanpabs: i'll grab the mediafire links
-
thubanbased on previous discussions i believe google drive should work in ab given appropriate ignores
-

JAAthuban: It's possible with AB, but the URLs need to be transformed; simply throwing a list of normal GDrive URLs into AB (directly or via recursion on another site) won't make it grab files, and folders don't work at all to my knowledge.
-
thubanJAA: what's the transformation? my understanding was that !a would work
-
JAAthuban: Regular links don't go to the /uc with export=download.
-
thubanah, i see
-
JAA
-
JAAThe !a bit is just about the malware warning on large files.
-
JAAFor small files, a simple !ao on the /uc URL is sufficient.
-
thubangot it, thanks
-
thubancan playback from /view be made to work at all? or are archives doomed to be undiscoverable to people who don't know the alternate url format?
-
OrIdow6No, /view on files uses POST with some nondeterminism in the body
-
pokechu22I believe /view did get the top bar to work properly at some point, including the download button, which previously used those /uc URLs (though I think they use a different download URL now that behaves slightly differently and doesn't interact as nicely with archivebot (using a form for large files instead of a URL with the query string already on it))
