Please follow the instructions to backup "all" the media of one wordpress.com instance.

Go to https://your-blog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

• Click the first media item and then as the pop-up appears, right-click on the right-arrow/next-arrow (>) in the top-right-hand corner and select "Inspect Element".
• Replace this button and the it contains with the corrosponding one you find in next-btn.html (this directory). This procedure my vary depending on the type of browser you use.
• Go to your browsers Javascript console and initialize the path variable path by typing: path = "";
• The pop-up still open: click through all the pictures/media-files until you reach the end. Never close the pop-up or you have to start all over again.
• When you have reached the last picture, paste the following code into the Javascript console: var el=document.querySelector('div.settings label.setting:first-child input'); path += '\n' + el.value;
• Then again in the Javascript console: clear all contents and then type: path
• Copy the output of the JS console and paste it in a file in this directory called link-list
• Make sure you remove the quotes (") at the front and end of the output
• Run dl-media.sh and you should be good to go

=> all the files should appear in the sub-folder media of this directory (.)
