download speed #40

eetsceeck1 commented 2 years ago

HI, first i want to thank you for this program, it works well so far, i did download it last night for the first time after i was looking for an alternative to mediahuman, but to be honest after i did tried so many similar programs, none of them did even came close to mediahuman video downloader,

but, at least i found this particular program, vividl, as the most best among the others,

but there is a small problem with it, just a small one, i really don't understand why vividl downloading in maximum speed of 80kbps ?

even the other open source programs did download in at least 250 kbps,

vividl downloading in exactly between 79 to 80.01 kbps so its looks like its definitely in purpose? mm.. i am not sure what's going on, there is any conf file to bypass it? cause at the interface itself it doesn't looks like there are any options to increase speed,

can you fix it somehow? or can at least explain why is it like that?

my internet speed by the way is a 100mbps which means i am able to download in a speed of 3 real mega bytes per second, cause i am connected with wifi and i am loosing speed, but my current maximum speed is 3mb which 80kb is just 3% of my internet download speed

thank you

@eetsceeck1

I am not the developer but I suppose that YouTube may be throttling downloads (see this youtube-dl issue and this reddit thread).

levicki commented 2 years ago

Yes they are throttling down to 64 KB/sec.

yt-dlp has implemented a workaround, it can probably be backported to youtube-dl if it is still maintained at all.

@levicki

I suppose that youtube-dl is most likely abandoned.

Since v.0.6.0, Vividl now comes with yt-dlp instead of youtube-dl as the download engine by default. From my experiments, this significantly increases download speeds.
