Many links at once

OmniGet can take a whole list of links in one go. Paste them together in the box, or keep them in a text file and open it; OmniGet checks the list first and skips what it cannot download.

Where it is

  • Home, in the Paste a link or search box.
  • Home › More ways to download (the button at the left of the box) › Paste many links… to open a .txt file.
  • Drag a .txt file onto the OmniGet window.

How to use it

  1. Copy the links. They can be on separate lines or separated by spaces, and can sit inside other text, such as a chat message.
  2. Paste them in the box on Home.
  3. OmniGet shows how many it found, for example N links found. Repeated links are counted once.
  4. Pick a mode: Auto, Audio only (MP3) or Video without sound.
  5. Click Download all N.

Open a text file

  1. Make a .txt file with one link per line.
  2. Click More ways to download › Paste many links… and pick the file, or drag the file onto the window.
  3. The links appear in the box and OmniGet shows the batch, as above.

In the file:

  • Empty lines and lines that start with # are skipped, so you can add notes.
  • On each line, anything after a | is ignored.
  • Lines must start with http://, https://, magnet: or p2p:. Other lines are skipped.
  • A file with only one link opens that link as a normal single download.

The check before the batch

Before adding the links, OmniGet checks the list:

  • If some links are repeated or cannot be handled, it shows Skipping X of Y: unsupported or repeated. and downloads the rest.
  • If none of them can be downloaded, it stops and shows None of the … links can be downloaded — no supported site among them.

When the batch starts, OmniGet shows how many downloads it added to the Queue.

Options

A batch uses fewer options than a single link:

Option What it does Default
Mode Auto, Audio only (MP3) or Video without sound, for every link. The last mode you used
Quality Every link uses Settings › Downloads › Quality › Video quality. 720p
Folder Every link goes to the Default folder, or OmniGet asks when Always ask where to save is on. Your Downloads folder

There is no per-link quality, format, section or account choice in a batch. For those, paste the links one at a time.

When you paste, OmniGet removes common tracking parameters from each link and drops links that point to the same video.

Common problems

No valid URLs found in the file

None of the lines starts with http://, https://, magnet: or p2p:. Check that each link is on its own line and complete.

The check before the batch only looks at the links themselves. A link can still fail when it downloads, for example if it needs a login. Each failure shows in the Queue with its own error.
