Wfdownloader11/9/2023 ![]() Well, this app is not quite what I need even if it did work as intended. Looks like I finally figured it out, turns out that I had to launch "gatewayui 1.2.1.exe" in the "dist" folder. So I was wondering if anyone here has experience with Twitter Media Downloader who can shed some light on the issue? Or perhaps anyone can recommend the downloader that is better than the aforementioned three? So I guess I can mitigate the effect of this skipping by downloading only one kind of media at a time (the skipping effect appears less severe, or absent entirely, if there are less tweets to download), but this only circumvents the problem rather than resolves it. The only way to change the skipping pattern that I found is toggling the retweet inclusion on and off, as well as toggling on and off the exact kind of media you want to download. They don't change even if you manually set limitations on the ID interval so that only the oldest tweets get downloaded. ![]() Despite that, the exact tweets that get skipped don't change from run to run. There appears to be no logic behind what exact tweets get skipped: they tend to be clustered around the oldest tweets, but it's not a single chronological gap, the skipping is sporadic, an the oldest tweet gets downloaded successfully. Furthermore, the tweets that get skipped even during the original posts run can still be accessed on Twitter proper through the advanced search feature. And it is not a problem on Twitter's side either, because some of the tweets that get skipped during a run with retweets do not get skipped during a run with original posts only. It has an option to toggle the inclusion of retweets on and off, and as long as the "limit" field is empty, it does its best to go all the way back, even through stuff that is archived and not displayed anymore through normal scrolling.īut I'm saying "does its best" rather than just "goes" because for whatever reason this extension starts skipping some tweets towards the end of its scan. So far, the best solution I found is a Google Chrome extension called "Twitter Media Downloader". I'm not sure if that's related to Twitter's display limitation described here, or if there is some other reason they can't download everything, but that's not something that works for me, because I know that older tweets still exist too. A much bigger problem is that neither program goes all the way back chronologically. Still, these are not the main reasons I'm not satisfied with either. Jdownloader doesn't seem to skip any tweets, but it only downloads original ones, ignoring retweets. RipMe downloads both original tweets and retweets, but it seems to skip some of the tweets for no apparent reason, and the chronological order doesn't look quire right.
