I want to download all images and videos associated with a link/url (deactivated tumblr and twitter blogs mainly) on internet archive/wayback machine. Ideally, from all available timestamps but does not download duplicate images (if that's possible). I don’t really care about HTMLs or the websites, I just want the images and videos. Does anyone know how to do this or point me to certain guides?

I've also tried various guides online (linked below) but none work for me (ARM64 Windows 11) or are targetted towards collections and HTMLs. I also have gallery-dl, wfdownloader and JDownloader and know some CLI if that helps.

1. Pretty straightforward already in terms of directions but just in case someone needs help. If I’m wrong about something or missing something, please comment or DM
2. Make sure you dedrm your book before uploading, check if you can read it on a separate device
3. Z library accepts pdf, fb2, epub, lit, mobi, djvu, djv, txt, rtf, azw, azw3, cbz files
4. Create Z Lib Account if you haven’t and sign in
5. Tap the bars to the top right, Click the Upload button under the column Contributions OR go to z lib domain and add /book-add to the end
6. The Add Book tab is for books under 100MB (100,000kb or 0.1GB), if you try to upload any book larger than that you’ll be stuck at the uploading for forever instead. FTP Collections tab is for any books larger than that but under 1GB. I don’t think there’s any way of uploading books larger than 1GB to Z lib.
7. You can add multiple books to one FTP collection but I don’t know what’s the maximum number of books or total files size you can put under one collection.
8. For Add Book, just drag and drop the file inside or click browse files and select the book. For FTP, first install Filezilla. Go back to FTP and click create FTP collections and name it whatever thing you want and select category. Then, click credentials and copy and paste the FTP host, Username, Password and Port the numbers to Filezilla top row, which should also have Host, Username, Password and Port. Click connect. You should get this message in the Filezilla tab under the row.

1. Navigate to where your book is under the local site tab and the tab below that. Double click the book OR Drag the book over once you get it (don’t upload twice, you will get Duplicate error later). You won’t see the file added there yet but you should get this message in the Filezilla tab under the row. Wait.

1. The red button will be blinking if the file is still uploading. Wait until the red button stops blinking and a notification pops up saying File transfer was successful. It can take up to 20 min based on my experience (depends on the file size). Don’t close the Filezilla window until the file transfer is done. Once it’s done, you can close the filezilla window and return to Z lib uploads. Click the new blue process button next to your collection. Wait until progress is 100% and green publish books button appears instead.
2. For Add Book, if you exit the window without publishing first, the file upload is stopped and deleted. For FTP, if you close Filezilla before the file is transferred OR you delete the collection without publishing first, the file upload is stopped and deleted.
3. If your upload has an error, the screen on Z lib should show it. For Add Book, there will be a pop up notification. For FTP, there will be an Error when you click the collection.
4. For Add Book, click the Fill in information circle and you can edit the book’s info. For FTP, click the underlined collection name and then click the blue underline title of the book and you can edit the book’s info.
5. Click the Type of Content and put under Books or Articles. Scroll down and fill in book’s ISBN, ASIN or ISSN at the bottom. Click Fetch and it should fill in the book’s metadata for you if Z lib can find it. If it can’t, you have to fill in the book’s info manually. Click green submit at the bottom once done.
6. For Add Book, click the Publish green tick circle to publish. For FTP, select the books you want to publish inside the collection and click publish selected files.
7. You can see your uploads status under My Uploads tab and see its status. The stars are how the mods rate the quality of your upload out of 5.0, can be pretty subjective based on the Mod.
8. When the book gets uploaded depends on your upload history and the number of mods active.

I tried searching the rules but couldn't find anything about it. Do they allow it?
