how?

a small note on download speed - video chunks are received out of order so the download will start off slow and accelerate rapidly near the end, just letting you know

yownloader is very experimental. it uses a random one of these to grab your video info. when you click "download" it pipes the request through one of these in pieces, and feeds them into one of these to force a writable download stream. Look, if you want a better explanation you can take a look at the source code

why is there no sound? / why is there no picture?

the audio and video streams are separated, so you gotta download both. this is because of the way serving videos over http works in 2024. if you want someone to mux for you use this

b-but I want my videos to be muxed for me!

listen, kid, i made this tool to perform a very specific task, and i'm putting in minimal effort because with the way the current landscape is, i don't know how long this little trick is gonna last. it's for downloading stuff before it gets taken down. you have muxing at home.

why?

because no one can stop me. i do what i want.
