Downloading in "..." took too long to start (238GB and 30408 files, over ~2TB)

[prigal]

Hello,

I'm starting to have issues while downloading my library. I can't figure if it's because I have too many folders in my library and the program is hanging or because of something else.

I'm not a Go developer but I have an env up and running and I'm able to build and add some logs to the program.

This is a trace :

2023/12/10 10:56:29 downloading in "/media/prigal/TOSHIBA2T/gphoto" took too long to start

It looks like it's not able to enter this loop

for _, v := range entries {
    if v.IsDir() {
        continue
    }
    if v.Name() == ".lastdone" {
        continue
    }
    if v.Name() == ".lastdone.bak" {
        continue
    }
    fileEntries = append(fileEntries, v)
}

I tried to allocate more time to deadline but with no more luck

deadline := time.Now().Add(time.Minute * 5)

Any idea of what could go wrong ?

NB : I have already downloaded 238GB over ~2TB and I have 30408 folders in the destination folder.

I just checked the location to see what file is blocking, and this is what google photo is showing :

Maybe the problem is on their side in the end.

For future readers, some files may be corrupted on google side, and the program will crash trying to download them.

To make it continue, go to your google photo, copy the link of the next image/video in the list, put it in your .lastdone file, the program will resume, download this new file and continue.
