I use it and 4K Video Downloader (for Windows) sometimes too/instead. I'm amazed (and very glad) that YT lets them work at all! :-)

What about yt-dlp?

BTW, I can confirm, youtube-dl is very slow (e.g.
52.56KiB/s) these days. But I think it's been that way for
a while now, at least for me. --digital man (rob)

that could be caused by any number of things in the path
from the server's file system to your system's file
system, really...
eg:
overloaded router in the path
active virus scanner scanning all traffic on the wire
DDOS on the sending or receiving end
..it seems to be averaging 78KiB/s for a
17.4MiB file... i guess that's ok... this with the 2021
Dec 17 update of youtube-dl... i can't say if that's good,
bad, or average, though...
yt-dlp pulls the same video much much faster (3 seconds vs
3 minutes) but the output is slightly different (both
video and audio are webm as is the final container vs
youtube-dl's webm and m4a with final container being
mkv)... i may not have everything installed that yt-dlp
wants, though...
in both cases of the above video, i see the same "playback
problem" at the same position in the 25 second video but
this may be due to playing them on this older system...
the "problem" being large lag of the video image starting
about 13 seconds into the video... this lag is not seen
when playing the video directly from youtube on the same
system, though...

I dunno.. DOES it manage to achieve faster downloads?
Thanks for the heads-up on that one. It's only for the 64bit
on Windows, but it might be a good replacement on one of my /64
systems just the same.

Same here. But only for YouTube. Other sites work much faster. So I think YouTube is throttling.
I am pretty sure that it has 32bit version: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2022.01.21
yt-dlp_x86.exe
For me it works much better and faster than youtube-dl (YMMV).

youtube-dl seemed to keep up with the barriers it was facing on
YT with reasonable updates every now and then. Too bad, it
stopped development.
I just did a check (youtube-dl -U) and I'm up to date with a version date or 2021.12.17.
That doesn't seem to me like they stopped development.
I do recall that they went through a hosting problem some time ago so
that you needed to reinstall youtube-dl because doing a 'youtube-dl -U' with the old version went to the old server, which wasn't there anymore.
