metaTED Description

Creates metalink files of TED talks for easier downloading It does so by creating over 8 metalinks of TED talks varying in both the quality levels and possible talk groupings by directory. Here are some key features of "metaTED": · Creates talks with informative file names - i.e. Unconventional Explanations/Hans Rosling on HIV - New facts and stunning data visuals.mp4 instead of original HansRosling_2009_480.mp4. · Tries hard to get all of the talks, or at least most of them - with a good reason if some have failed. · More choice - creates one metalink per available quality level (currently low and high). · More choice - creates one metalink per available talk grouping, with all talks belonging to the same group placed inside a common directory. The possible talk groupings are extracted from talks metadata (currently filming/publishing year, talk theme and author). · Aggressive caching throughout the project, to avoid expensive network/CPU operations as much as possible. Proper cache invalidation included. · High levels of fault tolerance. · Simple, yet powerful homegrown web crawler. · Flexible and extensible software design with changes in mind. · Provides both the console script and a public API. Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · Blacklisted a couple of talk URLs as they haven't had any downloads for quite a while. · Updated video download markers as TED updated their HTML layout.
