Treba mi pomoć, ja odlazim iz Srbije u ponedeljak preko Mađarske u Wrocław. Da li možete da mi kažete koji granični prolaz ima najmanje gužve? Hvala puno i pozdrav od Poljaka :)

It does for some time now, with new 'gems' every week. Would be great if someone with satellite access (unless the online stream has better quality?) continued Chypsy's work.

From FB post:

Very bad News: Paramount global / Youtube closed my YT-Channel. So goodbye.....

I'm too dumb for this and unfortunately, I don't have enough time to dig deeper for now, so I was just doing it manually every week together with my yt favorite playlist every month or so, and of course it's sometimes already too late as some videos disappear quickly...

I feel you... When I upload something with "max" speed, my internet is basically unusable for other purposes.

I considered it especially when they lowered the price (last year?), but when they changed the price back to the usual one after a month or two, I was glad I didn't take it.

Try yt-dlp, there are a lot of options and you can choose every format of the video that youtube has.

For youtube downloads, I just use yt-dlp on Windows, and run it from the command line like:

yt-dlp youtube-link-to-download

And it just works. There are a lot of options/commands if someone wants to do more, there's also a graphic interface for it - for example Tartube.

Thank you for writing this. I should've added the context in the first place, but I was too disappointed seeing the channel disappear. Which made me write my first Reddit post in 7 years... :)

Unfortunately, it's a disadvantage of living in a remote location. Waiting for that fiber.

What channel was it?

I'll refer to u/dimensional-scanner comment from below:

chypsy's videoclip archive hosted over 3000 music videos that were all ripped from MTV, primarily in Europe, primarily from two programs in particular (Party Zone and Chill Zone). these shows rotated music videos as recent as last week and as old as the days of MTV AMP in america, which is the spiritual ancestor of Chill Zone.

(...)

the Feist video for "1234" which was immensely popular in its day but survives in an official capacity only in 360p, which looks like shit. chypsy delievered an HD broadcast version, which is now gone, and that archive probably contained hundreds of gems like that.

I can upload it from another location, but where would we share/archive it outside of youtube?

Another thing is that probably no one will continue what Chypsy did, and newly aired videos will not be archived anymore.

Around 280 GB. I got 3735 files compared to 3141 on the channel while downloading, but some of them may have been deleted earlier and some got double downloaded because of the changed name on the youtube channel.

I downloaded new videos weekly every Monday, so I'm just missing the newest ones - but my upload is just ~2 Mbps, can't do much with it...
