Very slow download speed #297

I guess it's probably youtube limiting speed but, idk so i ask here. Sometimes speed is limited to around 60kb/s for no reason, it can happen at any moment even after few hours without any requests

I have the same issue - several downloads run like clockwork, but after 3-5 unlimited one's there will be always one with a 40-60 kb/s throttle. I guess it is on a youtube's side. Maybe using "sleep" command or proxies could help.
