youtube com/watch?v=nigger -> yewtu be/watch?v=nigger -> hit play, wait 3 seconds -> right click, save as

:) Easier than stealing a bicycle. * if you don't hit play and wait a short bit, it will save as an html file and not just be an extension issue. I'm not sure why.

Good stuff

yt-dlp downloads using multiple threads, 10x fater than a typical single-thread browser download

It's also using the android API, which allows it to bypass the web throttling.

Nice. Can be done on android with Termux as well

Good to know

an old tutorial I did that uses a dedicated termux package. I might make a new one using the python method as it uses the latest yt-dlp which is compatible with shorts.

I live on yt-dlp. I cop everything worth archiving with it as well as whatever I can find valuable on jewtube. Can use in windows cmd line. Easy peasy.

Freetube, an adblocking standalone youtube player uses this for downloading, if I understand it correctly.

Been using it for years; it’s great. I got a lot of series off it for the kids when we cut the cord.

Just a heads up if you hadn’t seen it, you can get an entire playlist at a time.
