How is it so fast? #271

Describe the question you have. ... How is this so fast? This seems to just use youtube-dl, but I have used youtube-dlg before and that always downloaded the whole video just keep the audio when setting it to just audio, why is this program not doing it the same way? Did you modify youtube-dl or did youtube-dlg fail to update it?

Additional context Amazement.

jelle switched the foundation of this app to yt-dlp in november which, at the time, had been maintained since june 2021 unlike youtube-dl.
