Homebrew-cask VS youtube-dl

Using Homebrew Cask for Calibre actually makes the problem worse because the download is consistently very slow for some people. For me, it took around an hour the last time I had it installed on my Mac.

(Note that I don't actually have calibre installed on my machine. I'm only going by the calibre.rb file present on brew's GitHub.)

seems like you might be able to look at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/commits/89f99aad090a5148b0a44eef826f1fc7c0c6aa84/Casks/arc.rb and figure out which version works and plug the version into the download url. would be more ideal if theres a way to do it directly from brew but im not sure how offhand

I use Homebrew to install and delete most apps, because they include a zap list in their formula of all files and folders to delete when uninstalling. You can see Parallels formula and zap list here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/tree/master/Casks/parallels.rb

Sto cercando di creare una "botte" per l'app VPN FORTICLIENT gratuita (e ho già fatto per il software Full Forticlient), vedi qui: [https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-cask coin(https:/ /github.com/homebrew/homebrew-cask)

Huh, it was just accepted as the mainline fork in Homebrew last week! Been trying it and it seems to have all the features that the rowanj fork had! https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/141659

True, and there's an issue for that: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/89497

Follow the Homebrew file for installing Microsoft Edge, as it contains the folders to be removed when deleting Edge with brew: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/08f8ed4f738f2245fe8166d64dbc68b4b26add7b/Casks/microsoft-edge.rb (check the "trash" list)

I see. According to the Web Archive, this website stopped working all the way in November 2023, and http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/ now contains all the same content as the old one and is the new "official" website.

youtube-dl is still a thing, last commit was one week ago.

YouTube with youtube-dl [1] or NewPipe [2].

[2] https://newpipe.net/

See elsewhere in the thread for details, but youtube-dl was restored by Github and is generally not considered to be in violation of the DMCA. You can see it on Github here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

A copyright holder abused the DMCA process to take it down the first time.

The best way is to download the source from github, run `make`, and copy the the file to $HOME/bin . There hasn't been a release for about a year now and the files on the distro repos are even older (I think).

Also YouTube has been doing some changes lately on the the player and a lot of the tools fail to download audio or video.

For example, in the last couple of weeks there have been some issues with a redirect to a 'consent page' : https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/32499
