Any alternatives on downloading large files

[qsh-zh]

The issue is very similar to #26

Take an example of 500mb file

gdown 1fXgBupLzThTGLLsiYCHRQJixuDsR1bSI

# error

    raise MissingSchema(error)
requests.exceptions.MissingSchema: Invalid URL '1fXgBupLzThTGLLsiYCHRQJixuDsR1bSI': No schema supplied. Perhaps you meant http://1fXgBupLzThTGLLsiYCHRQJixuDsR1bSI?

I found even on chrome, it request another confirmation

Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this or alternative approaches to download a large file in the terminal?

[Fannovel16]

For a large file, you need to run this command instead:

gdown https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=FILE_ID_HERE&export=download&confirm=t

For example:

gdown https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1fXgBupLzThTGLLsiYCHRQJixuDsR1bSI&export=download&confirm=t

@Hacker17082006 The trick is really useful! It solves my problem.

The solution can be found at https://github.com/wkentaro/gdown/issues/146

gdown.download( f"https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=pbef&id={file_id}", output=filename )

The solution can be found at

https://github.com/wkentaro/gdown/issues/146

gdown.download(

f"https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=pbef&id={file_id}",

output=filename

)

Where did the "pbef" come from?
