  • yt-dlp

    A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

    • probably a youtube hosting reason - may simply be your internet speed at the time. Would recommend using youtube-dlp instead. That program has much better options for quality, also getting subs/captions, getting only audio/video, etc.

  • InfluxDB
