pyreplib (optional, for the verification/sorting/trashing part)

Pipeline

Download replays

You need to download replays from replays sites, it can take a while (2 days with the no leeching policy of ICCUP for instance):

cd gosugamers|iccup|teamliquid && make

Unify replays

You may have downloaded the same replay numerous times, so we have to unify them, we do that with a hash (sha256) of the file:

cd unifier && vim unifier.py
# change to match the folders of the recently downloaded replays
make

Verify and sort replays

Some of the replays may be corrupted and should be trashed, some others may be sorted in the wrong match-up folder. You will now verify and sort them, for that, you need the pyreplib python library:

cd match_ups && python verify_and_sort.py PATH_TO_REPLAY_FOLDER

In PATH_TO_REPLAY_FOLDER/trash, you have the corrupted replays, other valid replays should be in their right match-up folder.

Special case of ICCUP

ICCUP server has some kind of anti-leech policy, so the download script waits for some time after each failure. Also in the iccup/crawl.py, you can change (commented line) if you want to use the users replays, the current default is to use only the gosus replays of ICCUP.

Archive

Do not forget about excluding all the trash your OS can put in:

tar czf archive-name.tar.gz --exclude *.DS_Store replays/
