Bulk Private Vimeo Downloader

A Python script to download restricted or private Vimeo videos using yt-dlp and aria2c with multithreading and simultaneous downloading.

It reads any plain text file containing Vimeo video links and bulk downloads them.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Vilagamer999/Bulk-Private-Vimeo-Downloader

   (make sure you clone the repo in a directory where you have write permission)

2. Install the required dependencies:

   • Ensure Python 3.x is installed.

   • Install yt-dlp:

     pip install yt-dlp

   • Install aria2c:

     • Windows: Download aria2c from https://aria2.github.io/ and add the aria2c executable to your system's PATH.

     • macOS: Install aria2c using Homebrew:

       brew install aria2

     • Linux: Install aria2c using your package manager:

       sudo apt-get install aria2

3. Modify the script:

   • VERY IMPORTANT! (otherwise it won't work): update the "referer": parameter after yt_dlp_options = { like so "referer": "https://www.link-to-online-course-website.com"

   • (OPTIONAL): you can now also download password protected videos! simply add :: after each video link followed by the password in vimeo_links.txt like so https://vimeo.com/12345678::PASSWORD

4. Run the script:

   python vimeo_downloader.py
