Even though I annotated lines 183 and 184 to release the limit, I still download only 20.
Perhaps the structure of YouTube has changed.

I guess it's because I used the old version! But how do you use the new version? The structure has changed a lot

You're right, the new version shouldn't have these problems. The easiest way to use the script is by following the instructions from README.md. If you prefer to run it from source, just run python __main__.py.
