Has anyone noticed the decrease in speed when downloading you tube videos?

Yes, I noticed the download speed decreased dramatically! I am using StreamFab for Mac 6.1.0.9 (latest and greatest for mac). I used to be able to download 2-3 HD video each 1 - 1.5G bytes large at the same time with speed 4-5M/sec. Now, I have download speed for 500M video with about 300k/sec.
If I download a video with size about 1G bytes, I got an error stated expected string or bytes-like object when the video downloaded more than 90%. For video file size like this, I need to try to download number of times to get the download complete! -
yep!! It used to do one at a time & be super fast. Now it does 4 or 5 at once and gets slow as hell on the last video. also use a free version of something else, but that's more work at the end.Originally posted by jamesm View PostComment

As you guys know, Youtube downloader uses yt-dlp. There was a fix for this recently that didn't cover all scenarios but now apparently another fix is ready for what was left.
Once it is released, all will be good again.
Just need StreamFab to pull the fixes into their source code.
I was away on vacation and got a tip about this from another very helpful user on here...Comment

Yup, same thing here.
And still no 1440P/QHD support. Cyber's program used to work on that, but it fails right away now.Comment

The developers have aware of the download speed of YouTube Downloader, they will figure it out. Please wait, thanks.Comment

There must be specific servers bc I just retrieved a video in just a couple of seconds. But overall I have been getting slow downloads.Comment
