I've already used YT-DLP to archive his channel.
I believe it's 737 videos
An unofficial community dedicated to all things Tom Scott.
Tom holds a high standard for his content, and we should maintain that as his fans. There isn't a strict definition for this, but in general, just use common sense and be polite. Disagreements are fine, but be respectful and keep it strictly to the topic at hand -- no personal attacks, no "straw man"-ing or any other bad-faith agruing. Bigotry will be banned without hesitation.
This community is about all things Tom Scott. Of course, that's its name. But specifically, it's about Tom Scott the YouTube channel, and associates. That includes friends like the TechDif crew. Outside content featuring or about Tom is also welcome.
What is out of scope is Tom Scott the person. Anything digging into his personal life or history is strictly prohibited. That's a big part of why he wanted the subreddit taken down, so let's show that we can be better than that.
Without trying to list out every bad thing you can do, again, just use common sense and ask yourself if Tom would approve. If Tom isn't likely to approve, neither are the mods, even if the rules don't explicitly prohibit it. Even if nothing is going wrong yet, we may also preemptively stop conversations that look like they're going to a bad place. I'm not trying to micromanage y'all, I just want to keep every nice and tidy so Tom doesn't get upset with us.

His YouTube channel?
Thanks, but I was looking to see if anyone put in work already to download them and put them in a torrent or other archive outside of YouTube.
Why would anyone downvote that? Collaboration is great, and is someone already did it, it's amazing!
Lemmy downvotes everything. I hid vote counts in my settings
YouTube DLP would work, it's a command line tool, although I'm sure Gui versions exist.
You could download his videos using that, the command are a little confusing but just read the help text for each command and you'll get the hang of it in no time
There are dozens of applications that you can point at a youtube channel and it will download it all.
Care to help OP out and name one?
I've used jdownloader for YouTube vids years ago. Not sure if it's any good still. Also I did it once Video at a time.
NewPipe is a great youtube viewer for Android, it can also download. FOSS
