About:
telegram-downloader is a command-line interface (CLI) tool built in Go designed for efficiently downloading media and files from Telegram. It leverages the MTProto protocol to bypass standard client limitations, enabling high-speed bulk downloads and data migration. The tool provides robust features for managing large datasets, including resumable downloads and direct cloud transfers.
Key Features:
  • High-speed downloads utilizing the MTProto protocol
  • Resumable downloads for large files and unstable connections
  • Chat and channel export capabilities (JSON/HTML)
  • Direct transfer to cloud storage (e.g., S3, Alist)
Use Cases:
  • Backing up personal Telegram messages and media
  • Archiving public channels and groups for research
  • Migrating large datasets from Telegram to cloud storage
Alternatives:
  • Telegram Desktop – Official client lacks bulk export automation and high-speed CLI capabilities.
  • Telethon – Python library requiring scripting; tdl offers a pre-compiled binary with built-in concurrency.
