A Telegram Daemon (not a bot) for file downloading automation
If you have got an Internet connected computer or NAS and you want to automate file downloading from Telegram channels, this daemon is for you.
Telegram bots are limited to 20Mb file size downloads. So I wrote this agent or daemon to allow bigger downloads.
Installation
You need Python3 (tested in 3.5).
Install dependencies by running this command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
(If you don't want to install cryptg and its dependencies, you just need to install telethon)
Obtain your own api id: https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id
Edit telegram-download-daemon.py and put your own api_id and api_hash values into the proper variables.
Change the destination folder if desired.
Use your favorite Telegram app to create a new (private)channel.
Change the channel_id in telegram-download-daemon.py.
Run the script!
