[Q] Resume download regardless of files downloaded
Proposal
I'm trying to use tdl on my VPS to download files from a specific channel. That Channel has around 1000 files with a total of 100GB in size.
The problem is my server has about 20GB of free space and I can't download the whole Channel in one go.
I tried to run tdl and when it downloaded about 15GB, stop it.
then download files it has downloaded and delete them from VPS.
then run the command again to resume.
I thought using --continue would work, but it seems it's not.
This is the command I run:
/opt/tdl/tdl --storage type=file,path=/opt/tdl/data/tdl.json dl --limit 2 --ntp pool.ntp.org --threads 8 --continue --skip-same --file /opt/tdl/chat_ids/1234.json --dir /opt/tdl/downloads/1234
Is there a way to solve this?
Background
Downloading big channels on hosts with limited storage.
Workarounds
No. I couldn't find any yet.
I agree. I have the same problem where I have to move files from the Downloaded folder to somewhere else to FREE UP more space.
But then TDL redownloads already downloaded files.
If PostgreSQL can be used for savingmetadata about all the downloaded files. The problem will be fixed.
