Not the OP but I’m a heavy youtube-dl user. I live in a rural area where my only internet option is satellite (HughesNet) which is basically unusable for any kind of streaming media. I rent an office in town to do software work and use youtube-dl to download videos for later viewing at home.
- falsaberN1 6y agoThis is similar to my use case as well. I just cannot watch a video from Youtube itself, the connection would be lost so many times it'd stop trying after 1% or less. The only solution is to painfully and slowly download it to my system, over time, and hope there aren't cases that destroy the 60% you downloaded over the last 2 days. If nothing happens to replace or reinstate youtube-dl, a lot of people like you and me are simply cut off from video content. This is pretty much terrible.
