@NeilR  It looks like the video is no longer available on Twitch.  Is there a recording somewhere that could be placed on Youtube?

Oops it looks like Twitch deletes the videos after 30 days - sorry about that, we'll try to save it next time.

Hey @Ozzie  and @NeilR  - was the version of the Download tool that Ozzie was working on ever published?

Reason for asking is that we have ongoing challenges with the download tool (specifically around timeouts; retry errors - and the lack of support for OAuth) and so we're thinking of building something similar ourselves.

 

Would be great if we could use your innovation days build as a starting point in Python?

It was never published. It was one of these personal projects that unfortunately I didn't get a chance to finish. My github repo is still there for this: https://github.com/ozzieD/Python---Download-Tool but If I were you I'd probably start from scratch and just use snakeplane to develop. Luckily python has a great api library with requests and finishing this tool would be a huge win for many customers.
