Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How it all works: first watch the video to avoid asking already answered questions!


Q: After I run the script either download doesn't finish or doesn't start at all!?
A: To run the script it's recommended to use a short path, for example C:\Down The path must not contain any special characters (spaces, dashes) or Cyrillic characters. It is advisable to keep your important files outside this folder to avoid all files being potentially deleted in the process of not working correctly.

Q: Which operating systems does the file downloading script support?
A: The script works exclusively on 64-bit Windows (at least Windows Vista is required) and Linux (including 64-bit WinPE editions from Sergei Strelec and Ratiborus). System requirements for RAM are also at least 8 GB, otherwise the archives will fail to unpack due to their strong compression.

Q: How much space is required for the script to work?
A: The space required for it to work is about four times the downloaded file itself. To work with a file basket, several tens or even hundreds of gigabytes of space may be required.

Q: Here I stumbled upon a red window while running the script, what should I do?
A: I recommend first paying attention to the fact you need a 64-bit Windows (or Linux) operating system installed. After that, it is recommended to check the path so that it does not contain Cyrillic letters and special characters (spaces or dashes). In addition, an error may occur if you run out of disk space and the process was interrupted.

Q: How to download via WinPE?
A: Download the script, then download the tools: https://files.rg-adguard.net/tools.cab and unpack the contents of the archive next to the script (via 7-Zip). Next, run the script and the download will begin.

Q: It displays a list of files during the download, but the download process does not start, what should I do?
A: The script received a list of files which will be downloaded (if there are 2 or more files in the list, a bundle of the original English image + SVF patches is used). You can save all these files while the script is running by pressing the S button. If you only want exactly the file for which you downloaded the script, press the F button and the process will begin downloading all the files, processing them all, then saving only one file in total. If there is only one file in the list, then you must press the F or S letter on the keyboard to continue the script.

Q: Is it possible to get access for free?
A: At the moment access is provided free of charge, but with limited speed and no simultaneous downloads - so no more than 1 file at once.

Q: What is a file basket?
A: File baskets help you to pick several files to download at the same time. It works under a one-click principle, you run it and wait until everything downloads, processes and gives you the original images.

Q: Are files uploaded via direct links via a script?
A: No, the files are downloaded first from our own server. The server stores archives containing both complete source files and SVF patches. SVF patches allow saving a lot of space for storing such huge archives.

Q: How do I install aria2 and/or smv (SmartVersion) on Linux?
A: If you have a Linux operating system on the Debian/Ubuntu kernel, enter in your terminal: sudo apt update sudo apt install -y aria2 For CentOS/RHEL: sudo dnf update sudo dnf install -y aria2 Install smv (SmartVersion): wget https://files.rg-adguard.net/smartvs400_linux_x64.zip unzip ./smartvs400_linux_x64.zip sudo mv "smv" "/usr/local/bin"
