Hey everyone, and welcome to what is sure to be a fun post.
TL;DR:
See some feeble recommendations on how to possible filter/find out more about them in a small Q&A section at the end of this post.
I will be posting my personal picks from this collection in a separate thread, leaving this one for discussion.
Good luck to everyone, and please do share what you find and what you like, ideally as a link to a separate post/thread.
It all started
From the video link structure, I assume this is just how spankingtube.com stores/serves these videos internally, and it would mean that they don't always delete videos from their servers, which, is, uhm, pretty interesting.
You can try switching the index of the video in the link, and sometimes you will find another one that is available.
However, more often than not it is also available on spankingtube.net and there is no need for all this effort.
If you go to spankingtube.com, you will see that the index of the last video is around 170k, which, of course, is an enormous amount of videos to check by hand, soclaude I wrote a few bash scripts to help out.
I will share and explain how they work below, if anyone wants to reproduce this on their own.
Everyone else -- feel free to go on ahead and skip thenext section boring part 🙂
There is actually one more caveat to these links: if you find a few links from wayback machine, you will see that there are a few varying formats in the end of the link -- sometimes it is
So, of course, we have to try them all.
I wrote three scripts (attaching as pastebin links, it seems like one cannot attach even small files to posts in the forum):

Now, as a result, we have
They are ordered by size, which you can see in the first column.
Yay!
A: Should be easily downloadable in any browser, simply through the native video player tool. Also curl/wget if you are using terminal. And probably all the video downloader programs.
Q: How can I find out what the video is, if there are any more from the same creator?
A: This is, unfortunately, the tricky and not always possible bit. I am planning to ask for forum knowledge/memory on some of the videos I found and liked 🙂
There are two things which I have found to work for some videos, but less frequently than one would hope.
First, opening
Second, you can search for this same video page on webarchive,
Unfortunately, in my experience only about 10-15% of videos end up archived. The success rate is higher for older videos.
Q: Any recommendations for going through almost 13000 videos? What kind of videos are most prevalent?
A: 🪦. I will say that in indexes around 100-130k there is a huge number of 5 minute previews of kink.com/related videos, which are all out there on the web already.
In terms of novelty, while there are many "classics" in this list that have since gone around and around on free tubes, there are definitely quite a few videos I have really never seen before.
I have hand-picked around 900 videos I will share in a separate thread, I would estimate a few thousand videos to be useless previews of large studios. There is truly a lot of M/m and F/m and various solo content, probably more than half.
P.S.
P.P.S. Although most of what we do here is piracy, and I am okay with that, I have some reservations about the fact that private videos turn out to be accessible. If you are the creator of any of these videos, and they were never meant to be public and were never actually public on any platform, free or otherwise, feel free to reach out and I will redact the link and update the post.

There is actually one more caveat to these links: if you find a few links from wayback machine, you will see that there are a few varying formats in the end of the link -- sometimes it is
iphone/123.mp4, sometimes it is hd/123.mp4 and sometimes it is h264/123_720p.mp4 (and there can be different resolutions here). And, unfortunately, you have to know the correct format to use for each video, otherwise the link won't resolve, there is no smart redirect.So, of course, we have to try them all.
I wrote three scripts (attaching as pastebin links, it seems like one cannot attach even small files to posts in the forum):
*
You must be registered to view links and images
-- traverses a range of indexes, forms all possible variations of direct video links with that index (iphone/, hd/, h264/<xxx>_<all_plausible_resolutions>) and checks all of them to see if any of them actually exist (resolve). If multiple links work, it chooses the one with largest content-length value, which happens to be the byte size of the raw video. This allows us to get working download links for all spankingtube videos.*
You must be registered to view links and images
-- takes links retrieved above and for each one tries to resolve the video web page, which looks like www.spankingtube.com/video/<index>. Actually, if you open videos on the website, there is also the title of the video after the index, but thankfully it resolves just as well with just the index. Now, this check can tell us a few things. For deleted videos, we are HTTP redirected to a special not-found page. For private videos, you see a message saying that the video is private. In other cases, you, well, should get the source code of the video page. The script filters videos that either redirect, or contain any of the given keywords in the web page. Running it with keywords like "private video" and "could not be found" gives a list of links to videos that cannot be found on live spankingtube.com anymore.*

-- this one just downloads all videos from a list produced by any of the scripts above into a local folder. Traversing videos locally happens to be much quicker than waiting for them to load one by one.Now, as a result, we have

of video links, which all allow you to download videos that are not available on the live website anymore.They are ordered by size, which you can see in the first column.

Small Q&A
Q: How can I download a video via its link?A: Should be easily downloadable in any browser, simply through the native video player tool. Also curl/wget if you are using terminal. And probably all the video downloader programs.
Q: How can I find out what the video is, if there are any more from the same creator?
A: This is, unfortunately, the tricky and not always possible bit. I am planning to ask for forum knowledge/memory on some of the videos I found and liked 🙂
There are two things which I have found to work for some videos, but less frequently than one would hope.
First, opening
spankingtube.com/video/<video_index_without_mp4> will sometimes show you the title of the video in the title of the web page (in your tab bar).Second, you can search for this same video page on webarchive,
You must be registered to view links and images
, and if you are in luck, it archived the page, and you will see the title (in the link that was archived), but also the description, author profile, some of the relevant videos embedded in the page. Since spankingtube shows videos from the same author first, you often will see a few videos from the same profile right there on the same page (and you can hover over them to see their video indexes in the link). You can also try to go to the authors profile page, to the video list, etc. But be prepared that any of these pages might not be archived, I have encountered cases when a single video is archived, but the profile is not, and you are just stuck at this point.Unfortunately, in my experience only about 10-15% of videos end up archived. The success rate is higher for older videos.
Q: Any recommendations for going through almost 13000 videos? What kind of videos are most prevalent?
A: 🪦. I will say that in indexes around 100-130k there is a huge number of 5 minute previews of kink.com/related videos, which are all out there on the web already.

is a list of downloadable links for all spankingtube videos, including live ones (around 77k entries) -- might be useful just to easily download spankingtube videos without any extra software. Although I would expect software to be much more convenient for large amounts of downloads.P.P.S. Although most of what we do here is piracy, and I am okay with that, I have some reservations about the fact that private videos turn out to be accessible. If you are the creator of any of these videos, and they were never meant to be public and were never actually public on any platform, free or otherwise, feel free to reach out and I will redact the link and update the post.
