Mahabharat (Star Plus) – All Episodes [1 – 267]
We have been watching the latest rendition of Mahabharat by Start Plus as well, and its pretty impressive to say the least. Since getting hold of all the episodes was not a straight forward process, i am listing all HD episodes here and a java program using which you can download all episodes in a single click 😉
Here is a tutorial video to help you download the episodes (if video does not show up then click here):
If you still have doubts, you can use the steps below:
Step 1: Download df_3.0.zip file (Right Click on the Link and select “Save Link As”). Once downloaded extract it to get df.jar, MAHABHARAT.txt file.
Find the exact path for the JAR & TXT files. Ex:
In Windows:
JAR-FILE = C:\users\public\Downloads\df\df.jar
TXT-FILE = C:\users\public\Downloads\df\MAHABHARAT.TXT
In Linux/Mac:
JAR-FILE = /home/usr/df/df.jar
TXT-FILE = /home/usr/df/MAHABHARAT.TXT
Step 2: Find out the complete path for the folder where you want to save the downloaded files. Ex:
In Windows:
DOWNLOAD-FOLDER = D:\MAHABHARAT
In Linux/Mac:
DOWNLOAD-FOLDER = /home/usr/MAHABHARAT
Step 3: Enter DOS prompt from START MENU or in Windows (SHIFT + Right Mouse Click) (see snapshot below), if on Linux/Mac (CTRL + ALT + T) then start Terminal.
Type the following command and press enter to start the download process for all 267 Episodes:
java -jar JAR-FILE TXT-FILE DOWNLOAD-FOLDER
If you want to download only one Episode i.e. Episode 10, then try this command:
java -jar JAR-FILE TXT-FILE DOWNLOAD-FOLDER 10
If you want to down a range of Episodes i.e. Episode 200 to Episode 250, then try this command:
java -jar JAR-FILE TXT-FILE DOWNLOAD-FOLDER 200-250
Download Size ~ 50+ GB
