I'm trying to scrape two Dailymotion accounts that have about 1000 videos uploaded to each channel, however I've been struggling to figure out how to do this properly. Using yt-dlp scaps out at 1000 due to Dailymotion's API and even when loading all of the links on a browser, exporting as a list and downloading from that list manually, it seems to only download 990 (when there are about 1250 links that're actually on the list.) I can't figure out a way to download every video that actually exists on the account and would appreciate some guidance. Even when I do download what yt-dlp does catch, it downloads at a snail's pace at 1mb/s. If anyone here has expertise on scraping Dailymotion, I'd appreciate the help.

The accounts are
