Apols if this isn't the right board/forum. I used to use 4k video downloader to grab clip from Youtube but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Can anyone here offer an alternative?

It sort does still work, but it's so slow. Apparently YT changed their algorithm or something ... I'm rambling.

Thanks a bunch, appreciate any advice.


EDIT: Forget it. Just updated. Works fine. Apols for wasting your time people.

Wouldnt mind knowing what that downloader you use is called

I use this one - it went a bit strange for a while but last upgrade seemed to fix it.

Right board or not, it's actually something I'd been wondering about for a while, and appreciated the tips on good apps that do this.

The overwhelming majority of video downloaders that you'll encounter in the wild are built off of the work of a lot of very bright, selfless people who contribute to the Python module named 'youtube-dl'. Rather than needing to find new frontends for it over time, I always advise people to just download the Python module itself and spend a few minutes learning the options it has and how to keep it updated. Once you've got that down you'll never need anything else, and you'll ultimately have a lot more control over the size/quality of the downloaded files and how YouTube works in general.

P.S. Using the Python module itself rather than some wrapper or frontend provides the added benefit of being able to pass it links to videos on porn sites and have them downloaded just as easily. Enjoy!
