OPERATION BACKUP

We do have an IRC, it's literally in the board sticky. It hasn't really been worthwhile in several years though...

only worthless brainlet faggots use the imageboard associated irc channels.

A problem with using tubeup that way right now is that it doesn't check to see if the video is already uploaded. It just downloads and overwrites it, so if you ctrl+c for whatever reason and fire it up again it'll begin the process from the very beginning lol.
But it's possible to fix that by manually deleting the lines that were already uploaded before firing it up again, which shouldn't take much time.

See the above. My solution ended up being more flexible than yours, heh. The flag you mentioned might still be useful though, because instead of scraping the URLs manually you could just use youtube-dl+echo to output the links into a text file.

When using tubeup the youtube-dl speeds aren't too bad, because as it waits before the video is uploaded before beginning downloading again, it seems it isn't enough to trigger youtube's throttling most of the time.
Still, nobody in this thread seems to have uploaded shit. I'm uploading ChRiStIaAn008's vids and will continue with the other users when that's done. Hope I don't get banned from archive.org from uploading without warning, if anybody has powers there you might want to whitelist the channels mentioned in this thread.
