there is any way to increase file size limit?
or any way to put it to download the file into other download daemon like aria2?

Is there a way to specify more than one "TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID" so more than one telegram user can use it?

You can use GitHub Actions to auto publish the docker image to docker registry.

I can help you with that, but I have no "media server" (respbery PI or something), so it is currently a low priority for me.

Hi,
When I deploy it to Heroku it had failed everytime. And saw me the messages, "No default language could be detected for this app." What should I do?

This is what I get:

python2 telegram-download-bot.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "telegram-download-bot.py", line 116, in
photo=photos[-1]
IndexError: list index out of range

the bot on Telegram say that all is OK but don't answer

It looks like this project runs only on Python 2, which ends its support on Jan 2020.

Are there any plans of porting to Python 3?

Hi there!

I stumbled upon your bot and I loved because I like the one-file bot, and not those overcomplicated bots out there, nice job! 👍

I'm facing, but and isse with large files. I would like to send to my NAS tvshows files from other telegram groups/channels, and it seems normal bots cannot download/upload files greater than 20MB.

As I can't download the file, I've deleted that file I wanted to download, but now the bot automatically crashes

./telegram-download-bot.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./telegram-download-bot.py", line 106, in <module>
    tfile=bot.getFile(newfile.file_id)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/telegram/bot.py", line 66, in decorator
    result = func(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/telegram/bot.py", line 1546, in get_file
    result = self._request.post(url, data, timeout=timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/telegram/utils/request.py", line 327, in post
    **urlopen_kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/telegram/utils/request.py", line 238, in _request_wrapper
    raise BadRequest(message)
telegram.error.BadRequest: File is too big

So, have you considered to use user bots instead normal bots to avoid the size limitation? Besides, is there any way to delete the "download queue" to let the bot start again?

Thank you!

Emoji in music files crash downloading.
Maybe add filter for filenames?

Sorry to put this issues one by one instead of combining them all... Will it be too much trouble to make the bot download audio files too?

Cheers!

Awesome project dude.
Is it possible to modify the script to allow download of big files?

I did some dig and found the following: https://weekly-geekly.github.io/articles/348234/index.html

i@ThinkPad:~/Developer/telegram-downloader-bot$ python2 telegram-download-bot.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "telegram-download-bot.py", line 88, in
if user_command.lower() == "quit":
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'

Can you add option to download videos too?

Cheers!

this script can download attach file only . please help guide to download send as photo.

The bot throws this error when trying to download a file of 200MB.

First, thanks for sharing this script.
I have a problem with this script. Whenever I try to download file with size ~300mb, it returns the following error:
telegram.error.BadRequest: File is too big.

I also have another question or request:
Can we also download files that we shared as "quick send" in telegram like mp4?

hi
great job on that one
but why is there a size limit on the video size?
can you fix that?

Great idea man, really good project.
What do you think adding a time scheduling option? Usually i download nightly because i don't have a good internet connection.

Hi! I'm getting this: Error: RPCError -503: Timedout (caused by GetFileRequest)
Not sure if this is a local problem caused by my connection or my server but it has been happening for a few days. Is there any way to further investigate ?

Thanks for your work on this marvelous bot

As title say... everytime i try to start the but it says:

.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/telegram/utils/helpers.py", line 165, in
def from_timestamp(unixtime, tzinfo=dtm.timezone.utc):

Hello, i have a short question. What is the max Filesize?

--> I found it myself. Telegrambots can only Download Files off up to 20MB.

Hello, my friend.
I'm using your script to download my files from telegram.
I did ALL you said before running the script but it fails after 'Downloader ready!' message, because of this error:

    This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
    child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
    in the main module:

        if __name__ == '__main__':
            freeze_support()
            ...

    The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
    is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

What should I do to solve this?
Should I use previous versions of these libraries? or some parts of this script is missing?
I'm using Windows 7 x64.
Thanks. A LOT.
