aria2 VS yt-dlp

For sites with limited download speeds I usually use aria2 (via terminal) since it supports segmented/multi connection downloading. But I guess this wouldn't work with 1fichier, since with these sites you usually don't get direct link to the file and/or sites like these limit the number of parallel connections. I also used it for torrents for a while, but I wouldn't recommend doing this anymore.

Try a download utility like aria2c it's on GitHub. It's a command line utility but it makes using direct downloads less painful by caching downloads and starting where you leave it off. https://github.com/aria2/aria2 Download it from the releases page

You'll need two pieces of software: yt-dlp and aria2. These are tools that help you download videos from the internet. Once downloaded, place them both in the same folder on your computer.

if you must use DDLs, and I've never had to, use aria2 and use the following

https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases/tag/release-1.36.0 and run "aria2c.exe -x 16 -s 16 https://pixeldrain.com/api/file/8ppyvrWb?download" in cmd or wait for mirrors

You could try a tool like https://aria2.github.io

yt-dlp (youtube-dl fork) for downloading videos and auto cut sponsored content

is the way to go in windows. Note that you can make this process much faster for larger channels in yt-dlp using --flat-playlist

In case anyone else is looking for this, this has been added in yt-dlp

yt-dlp is the one I use these days following the controversy surrounding the main -dl project.

ERROR: Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error (caused by ); please report this issue on https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp . Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dlc with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

I have added a --windows-filenames option to yt-dlp to force the filename to be compatible with windows.

Same issue with yt-dlp. I can only get the first segment

Another Improved version of Youtube-DL: https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp/releases/download/2021.02.15/youtube-dlc.exe

Same as youtube-dl. Just download the latest release and run it with youtube-dlc instead of youtube-dl

For youtube comments, the fork https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp supports it so you'll have to download it and run a command like:
