Not sure if reddit changed the way they host & serve nsfw videos, but all nsfw moving pictures not stored externally are downloaded as GIFs from i.reddit.it instead of MP4s (usually from v.reddit.it). These are often more than 10-50 times the size of the MP4 versions. It might be that it was always like this, but I can't imagine nsfw posters are creating and uploading only GIFs to reddit, and I've noticed a huge increase of GIFs downloading instead of what was usually MP4s. You can still access the mp4 preview links:
I'm wondering if bdfr can download the mp4 instead of the gif? If I convert them to mp4 after the fact and maintain the metadata/timestamps, bdfr will just redownload them because I've removed the original gif files (using no-dupes, calculating hashes, etc).
