It's A Digital Disease!

I wanted to ask you hoarders if there's a nice and simple way to save pics, stories and videos from instagram.

I've been using this exstention for years: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/turbo-downloader-for-inst/cpgaheeihidjmolbakklolchdplenjai , It still work as of today 27/02/2025, but it feels unmaintained and unreliable.

The great feature about it, tough, is that it downloads files (using singers as an example of a username) with the template rihanna_1234567_8901444 (i think it's a timestamp) which makes it easier to organize the various pics and videos. Not only that, but it can also bulk download entire profiles, and it automatically creates a folder named rihanna inside a directory of your choice.

For example, you chose the directory Desktop/instagram.

Inside that directory, if you bulk downalod the profiles of rihanna , drake and bonjovi , it will create three folders with the usernames, and place all the stuff there. It basically auto-organizes itself.

So you'll have, for example

Desktop/instagram/drake

drake_1234567_8901444

drake_1256346_4534534

.....

Desktop/instagram/rihanna

rihanna_1234567_8901444

rihanna_1256346_4534534

.....

In your experience, is there a software, preferrably open source and maintained, that has the capability I described? Tried various softwares from Github and many don't work/ can't do what Turbo Downloader does so easily.

Thank you in advance for you responses.
