Youtube download speed decreased to 2Mbit. FIXED

Post by kachasob »

For a week now, the download speed from Youtube has decreased to 2Mbit ...
This happens regardless of the number of files downloaded. It may be one, but it may be ten.

Other programs have this speed faster, but not the fastest.
Program YoutubeDownload downloads at 10Mbit.

Youtube changes frequently..
As a consequence we have to adapt our fast extractor each time it changes in order to maintain both its flexibility and its speed.
So this bug may reappear someday

It’s probably because of the YouTube servers. There are millions of users, and they probably need time to adapt to all the new users that the service acquires daily. 2Mbit/second is still nice, and it shouldn’t affect most of the videos you watch, even in FHD or 4K.
If you’re unhappy about the download speed and there are freezes, you can try out this youtube download video chrome service. It allows you to download any video from YouTube and save it on your PC to watch later. I’m a teacher, and sometimes I need to show kids educational videos from YT, so I just download them using this service and upload everything to a memory stick.
