Not all photos downloading

[pirateZilla]

I was told my university are closing our accounts and I have a decade of photos to move off their accounts.

I was able to set in up as per the instructions but when I run the exe and let it go for a while it seems to eventually get to 100% however out of the 28,000 photos I have around 16,000 downloaded.

I'm going to try run it again but I'm not sure if there's something I need to enable or if there's a known issue here.

Anyway many thanks for this tool, it's a lifesaver for the pressure I'm under to get this stuff moved!

Just following up on this - basically the tool downloaded all Favourites, Albums, Shared Albums, then just everything else in the Library.

I decided to run it again and it got up to 23,000 out of 28,000. Every so often the CLI outputs errors like this:

[ERROR] media item could not be downloaded because: ('Connection aborted.', TimeoutError(10060, 'A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond', None, 10060, None))

Not sure if this is relating to missed media as a result of the timeout or just that a connection needs to be re-established and the missed media is something else, maybe a limitation of the API?

Currently running it a third time. So we'll see how much closer to the 28,000 we get. I'm assuming here that the 7,000 additional images found on the second pass that weren't in the first pass are unique files - so hopefully not just duplicates from the first run.

My guess is that's is the rate limit of the free Google photos API, and yes the program should not download duplicates it will skip those that it already has in the database. Let me know if you are able to get everything downloaded, I believe the API limit is based on data transferred and has a cap on the number of photos requested and resets daily Sent from Proton Mail mobile
