View submission: Google Takeout Archives - Downloading ALL the zip files at once?
I tried using the DownThemAll extension for chrome. It did not work.
Basically, I suspect that the URLS generated on the buttons redirect to a page that has a browser initiated download. It downloaded the web page that redirects me to the file...
the html file that google sends me is: pwd.htm it is almost 2MB in size, and has lots of javascript, and stuff for multiple languages, and it probably takes the the info from some sort of json query. So we may want to use a small account and do some monitoring of the browser communication with the server.
I'm thinking that I'm just going to set the file size to 30 Gigs or something and try again.
I also want the ability to pause it, and to throttle it... so a nice download manager would be good.
We may be able to make a chrome extension that specifically works with this site.
We could probably figure out the pattern for these, but authentication is a thing.
The authentication on my browser times out every few hours, and it takes a while to download the 5 that I am willing to do at a time.
So we should ask google to actually give us a list of URLS for the files, and perhaps keep a session open for a while. My data is not that sensitive.. it is mostly stuff that I want to keep.
I have 137 2GB files to download, and I am not super happy about this.

in your case, just make sure to select 50GB when archiving honestly, that'll save you a lot of time already
