 ===== Standalone basics =====
-For all videos: https://youtube-dl.org/ ([[https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html|supported sites]])
+==== Video & Audio ====
+(example: youtube, vimeo, soundcloud, ceskatelevize.cz, Google Drive, twitch...)
-For all (image) galleries: https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/ ([[https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/supportedsites.md|supported sites]])
+The venerable [[https://youtube-dl.org/|youtube-dl]]. ([[https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html|supported sites]])
-For all zoomable images: https://dezoomify.ophir.dev/dezoomify/dezoomify.html
+Alternatively, its currently better maintained community fork, [[https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp|yt-dlp]].
-===== Browser Addons =====
+//Always// try this first, //then// look around for alternatives.
+**Make sure** you're up to date though! (''youtube-dl -U'' or ''yt-dlp -U'') YouTube and many other sites like to play a cat & mouse game, meaning ''youtube-dl'' breaks periodically... If a download errors out, there's a 95% chance you're just using an outdated version and it has been already fixed upstream (they make a new release every week or so).
+==== Images ====
+=== Galleries ===
+(example: imgur, flickr, 4chan, tumblr, twitter...) \\
+Analoguous to ''youtube-dl'', there's [[https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/|gallery-dl]] ([[https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/supportedsites.md|supported sites]])
+Alternatively, https://github.com/RipMeApp/ripme/ but usually doesn't work as well?
+=== Zoomable images ===
+(example: Google Arts & Culture, all sorts of hi-res scans...) \\
+For all zoomable images, try https://dezoomify.ophir.dev/dezoomify/dezoomify.html (also has a [[https://dezoomify-rs.ophir.dev/|standalone version]])
+==== Web archival ====
+=== Single file webpage downloads ===
+https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile
+For downloading a site as a single ''.html'' file with everything loaded and embedded, instead of a ''.html'' file + a directory that's likely going to be broken.
+=== Archivebox ===
+>Open source self-hosted web archiving. Takes URLs/browser history/bookmarks/Pocket/Pinboard/etc., saves HTML, JS, PDFs, media, and more...
+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
+Nerdy shit alert, but a very powerful tool.
+===== Various Browser Addons =====
   * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector/
+    * For grabbing live streams or even obscure video sites. Usually an intermediary step to get an URL to put into [[ffmpeg]] or ''youtube-dl''.
   * https://www.downloadhelper.net/
+    * Good for sites that require authentication or are otherwise awkward to rip via ''youtube-dl''.
   * https://www.downthemall.org/
+    * Classic addon for grabbing webpages with dozens of direct links, or obscure image galleries.
