Hi all,

I wanted to get all the live shows, and am super excited to see the google drive archive. Thank you so much to whoever did and maintains this, it is incredible.

But I've been trying to download it and having issues. I can't use the website because it wont let you download that much (it tries to zip it).

I installed the google drive syncher, added it to my drive and tried to download that way, and it only gets 10 or so directories from every subfolder (no idea why).

Has anyone tried another method, or have another way to access this?

I am wondering if I need to manually download every sub folder....

Seems like I found a way - use chrome, not the syncher, go to drive on the web, select 40 or so subdirectories and hit download. it puts them in multiple zip files and seems to work fine.

Odd that the syncher didn't work, but the above seems to work well enough.

Thanks again for the amazing treasure.

Post 2 works for me - the only problem is that if the zip process fails, it doesn't tell you which directory it failed for. It just takes some figuring out.
