Second day of BANDWIDTH BUSTERS! Be sure to read yesterday's threads if you need to get updated on the IA tool, and don't take these on unless you have an incredible amount of hard drive space!
The whole reason IA supports video is from the 2000s upload of thousands of government films by @footage. It's one of our crowning jewels! Download 6,800 of them:

ia download --search="collection:prelinger AND -collection:prelingerhomemovies" --glob=*.mp4 --no-directories
If you put those films into a directory, and then tell players like VLC to randomly pull from it as a playlist, your hackerspace/party/place of work/nightclub has instant public-domain freaky video on the wall, for weeks.
While waiting for those to all download, run this command to download 10,000 magazines classified as "gaming or for gamers":

ia download --search="collection:gamemagazines*" --glob=*.pdf -d
