I was gonna suggest the same.
Comment on Why is Google takeout so bitchy?

I know it’s not ideal, but if you can afford it, you could rent a VPS in a cloud provider for a week or two, and do the download from Google Takeout on that, and then use sync or similar to copy the files to your own server.

I don’t know how to do any of that but I know it will help to know anyway. I’ll look into it. Thanks

Be completely dumb and install a desktop OS like Ubuntu Desktop. Then remote into it, and use the browser just as normal to download the stuff on it. We’ll help you with moving the data off it to your local afterwards. Critically the machine has to have as much storage as needed to store all of your download.

Instead of having to do an Operating system setup with a cloud provider, maybe another cloud backup service would work. Something like Backblaze can receive your Google files. Then you can download from Backblaze at your leisure.

Or use the filters by date to limit the amount of takeout data that’s created? Then repeat with different filters for the next chunk.
