How to download troublesome embedded, private, Vimeo videos (Win 64)

Vimego did not work for you?

No, when the video is private, it's not like other services where the video can still be accessed via the web. Even if you navigate to Vimeo directly, the site won't play the video.

Basically, the embeded player in the browser of the page where the video is posted functions as a temporary authorization to view that video. Otherwise, the URL can't even be accessed. This is why your NPN requests are taking so long

 

Thank you for this tutorial, always good to have several options available when trying to download videos.

 

Agree info like this is always helpful!!

 

uffda...my eyes crossed reading that.

I just use screenhunter to grab those picky little buggahs.

 

Edit: As of August 2024, this method no longer works. The original method still works fine.

 

Thanks for the info - this addresses an old post I had requested about private Vimeo (or embeded within a frame - so it was sorta behind a hard-stop code - so to speak). I was able to do it via viewing source code and going through the script(s) but man that is laborious - but you have the options of choosing file size [usually there are several within the container - I'd imagine to provide optimal streaming to the end-users' chosen device].

I'll definitely give this a go at some future point and I'm sure it's a lot easier! Thanks again . . .

 

Hey guys, I'm having a hell of a time trying to download a movie file from MEGA. To make this story shorter, it always gives me the Transfer Quota Exceeded. I've cleared all the data from my browser (history, cookies, cache) numerous times. Tried different browsers, opened different accounts, tired as non-member, a variety of free VPNs, but nothing helps. The movie I'm trying to get is the "NUDE" which has been posted by both @Nikon4life and @Coraline:

Most things that take this much time and trouble to figure out, in the end usually aren't worth it. But, if I'm having problems with this, surely others have had or will have them too. So any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

@DesertFox
You can try MegaDownloader software to download it.
(After the bandwidth runs out, use the VPN to continue downloading.)
If your problem is not solved, I can upload it for you in small parts.

MegaDownloader 1.8 Portable

Hidden Content:

**Hidden Content: You must click 'Like' before you can see the hidden data contained here.**

 

I use JDownloader and VPN. When there is an issue and traffic exceeded I switch the VPN server and resume. Usually works quite smothly

 

It says it's downloading, but doesn't give me a progress report. It's been downloading for a long time. But, I don't want you to go to and trouble. So please do not break it up for me. However, your offer to do so is much appreciated. Maybe I will try what @mr.c proposed if this doesn't work. I'll let it run until it either quits or gets it.

 

When it does not progress, it means that your bandwidth is exhausted. Now enable VPN or change IP.

 

Apart from using VPN (which might be useful for this site anyways), like Coraline mentions, if your ISP provides you with a dynamic IP address doing a reconnect would be also an option (if VPN is not available).

 

I use Mega 4.13.0 (I believe the most recent?) for the Mega-shares and it doesn't always hit the limit - and I'm not really sure why that is. But specific to the question - when it does exceed the quota - I'll also switch IP via VPN but also exit the Mega-downloader and then restart it - [and this is only of recent for whatever reason] - then it'll resume . . .

But if interested in a smaller version of the title you are referencing - I'm currently UL-ing a HD 720 MKV version - allow a little time and it'll be available via alternative link for both threads . . . it's about 1.5 GB in size of somewhat comparable quality . . .

 

This combo what I use 99% of the time, too. jDownloader2 (their version without adware) and NordVPN, specifically.

 

Also, subscribing to a debrid service (Alldebrid.com and real-debrid.com are my favorites) when you need to get around caps quickly can be useful, too. You can add your accounts right to jDownloader2.

 

In all my years, I can't remember having to face such problems. Does that make me naive, hardly! I've always just used Internet Download Manager for 95%, and on the sites I visited, contributed to, and worked on, that was enough. Now knowing that these problems can and do exist with MEGA, I would strongly suggest that contributors (such as myself) make themselves aware of these restrictions and upload to sites where these kinds of problems will not occur for members.

Going forward, I will do my best not to use MEGA for anything other than small files for my uploads. No one has ever complained to me that this Transfer Quota Exceeded was a problem for them. And all of the members here (and elsewhere) wouldn't have been as wise as some of you.

I'm quite sure @george is sick of me offering him suggestions, but if any of you think the following would be a good idea, I wish you would start a conversation with him.

We need a Forum entitled, "How To Do It" (or something to that effect). Those with knowledge on how to overcome problems can (and should) share that knowledge with members. The reason it needs to be a forum is so that it could be easily or certainly easier to find. What do you think?

 

Agree having a section with best practices/how to will be helpful, so everyone does not need to re-invent the wheel.
I only recently changed to Mega as storage should last longer is my understanding and for multi-rar bundles I saw harsh criticism by some when Workupload was used.
I understand the trick on Mega is to keep it at max 3GB.
But definitely this came up on my mind as well whether how to section might be useful, but then I kept still as I am still a newbie when it comes to joining this forum.
