Hello and welcome! In this video we look at how we can save the Kla.tv broadcasts via the server access
on our own hard disk, sorted by date or also by topic.
I will also show you how to save different qualities in the same folder structure and, last but not least, how to search
for keywords in downloaded documents to find specific programs.
So, here we go!
Set up server access
I am now here in Linux, Ubuntu to be precise, and on the kla.tv/secure page.
Here I can now select server access and choose a desired quality for the video or audio or even documents.
I'm going to go to 1080p here.
When I click on this, the size I need on my hard disk is calculated here on the right. That would be 1.87 TB.
If I reduce the quality, then the required storage space also decreases accordingly.
But now I choose 1080p, because I bought a 2 TB hard disk.
Now I see here that the program FileZilla is needed here.
I can now click here and download this directly.
However, I see here that this is available for a different Linux version.
There are two different ways for Ubuntu.
On the one hand, I can install FileZilla via the terminal with these commands.
You can also find the commands in the written instructions.
The second way is via the application system.
If you enter FileZilla above, you will find this entry here.
And then I can click on the Install button here.
Now I have to enter my password and can confirm here by clicking on "Log in".
Now FileZilla is installed and should now be available when I go to the applications here.
Here I can now find FileZilla.
I can open this and next I have to enter the data that I find on the Kla.tv page.
To do this, I go back to kla.tv/save and copy this data here one by one.
User name to user name and password to password and then click on "connect" here.
I can confirm this window with "OK".
Now I can see the server on the right and my own file structure on the left.
For example, I can now download whole years or just months here.
I find the individual programs in the months.
I can now create a folder on my hard disk, for example under Downloads.
Here I right-click and go to Create directory and name this directory KlaTV backup.
I would now like to make my backup in this folder.
For example, I grab the entire year 2024 and move it over here.
The download process for this year begins below.
This takes quite a while, depending on the internet speed.
Instead of downloading the whole thing chronologically, you can also download it sorted
by topic. I'll go one step up here for that.
I can do this here by clicking on this folder.
Then a topic view opens here and I can download entire topics here.
For example, the topic of "Bill Gates".
I can find all the programs about Bill Gates in this folder and could save the entire folder to my hard drive.
However, it is recommended to download it chronologically.
Since broadcasts are assigned to several themes, they require much more storage space.
In addition, more programs are being added all the time, so I have to constantly
synchronize these topic folders with my hard drive.
That's why I recommend downloading them chronologically.
To do this, let's go back to the "All" folder.
And there we have the overview of the years.
If this is too complicated, you can also go to the video list in the browser, select the
quality and then click on this button "Show files".
A list view opens and I can now download individual programs here.
I cannot download entire folders here, only each file individually.
To do this, I go to the monthly folder and click on one file after the other, which is then saved here in the downloads folder.
This option is very time-consuming, so we recommend using FileZilla.
Determine storage requirements
Kla.tv only shows the total size of all files according to my selection. In this case around 1.8 TB.
But if someone only wants to download a part, e.g. only certain years or even months, where can
how to know how much memory is required for this.
I can see all this in the fileinfo.txt files that are on each level.
In the months, in the years and even in the topics.
I will now go back to the years and take a closer look at this file.
By right-clicking "view" and "edit" I can open this file and can now see the size of the individual subfolders.
Here I can now see the individual year folders listed with their respective sizes.
When I get to 2024, for example, 233 GB.
All months can also be viewed here with their required storage space.
I can now decide better what and how much I want to back up and whether I have the storage space I need.
Limit speed
If you want to use the Internet in addition to downloading via FileZilla, it is advisable to limit the speed for FileZilla.
To do this, you first need to know your own Internet speed, which you can check at speedtest.net, for example.
Here I first go to the settings and change the unit of measurement to kbps.
So if mbps is highlighted here, then change it to kbps.
I can then start the measurement by clicking on "Go".
Once the measurement is complete, I can see my download and upload speed.
For FileZilla, for example, I could now make 10% of these data transfer rates available.
To do this, simply leave out the last number and enter the 4 numbers before it, in my case with FileZilla.
In FileZilla I go to "Transfer", "Speed limits", "Set".
Here I check the box "Activate speed limits" and enter the numbers here.
This is 8551 for download and 6043 for upload.
Confirm with OK and in addition to the download process via FileZilla you can also watch Kla.tv without any problems.
Download multiple qualities
If you want to download different video or audio qualities or even PDF documents, it would be disadvantageous if the files
belonging to the same program ended up in different folders.
It is therefore important to ensure that the file structure on the hard disk corresponds exactly to that on the Kla.tv server.
If, for example, the 1080p quality was downloaded in 2008 and I now want to download the 360p quality from
the same year, then I must not change anything in the folder structure on the hard disk.
I now copy the connection data for 360p and paste it into FileZilla.
Now I take the 2008 folder again and drag it to where the 2008 folder is located on the hard disk.
This gives me the same substructure.
Now everything is copied and sorted correctly.
I can now see on my hard disk that the files belonging to the same programme have now ended up in the same folder.
I can now do the same with audio files or documents.
Search saved archive
What good is an archive if you can't search it?
The file names of the downloaded videos do not always reveal much about the content.
One way of searching the entire saved archive is now presented here.
This requires the free Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded at get.adobe.com/en/reader.
By right-clicking on a PDF file, then on "Open with Adobe Acrobat", I can open this PDF file in this software.
We then go to "File", "Advanced search" and then select "All PDF documents in" under "What should be
searched" and "Search folder" from the drop-down menu.
Now I can go to my hard disk and specify the folder with the Kla.tv backup.
If I now search for a keyword, such as "Great Reset" and click on "Search", all PDF documents
that I have saved are searched for this keyword.
I can now open the individual documents and the keyword is highlighted in color.
Certain documents contain the keyword more than once. This is also displayed here.
To find the document on my hard disk, I go to "File", "Document properties" and then see the
path where the file is saved under "Location".
By clicking on it, the Finder or Explorer opens in the right place and I can now see the document and, if
I have already downloaded it, the associated program.
This allows me to search my archive for certain keywords and find both the documents and
the corresponding programs on my hard drive.
