Hi everyone,
I’ve been having trouble downloading YouTube videos lately, and I can’t figure out why. Neither 4K Downloader nor SnapDownloader works during these periods, and even online tools fail to download. The strange thing is that this doesn’t happen all the time—sometimes it works perfectly with the same tools and videos, and other times I can’t download anything for hours.
For context, I have lifetime legal licenses for both 4K Downloader and SnapDownloader. I’m not downloading playlists or doing anything excessive. I only download single videos occasionally, usually small clips to use as b-roll in my own YouTube videos (always giving credit to the original creators). I’m using a new Mac Mini M4 (base model).
Could this be related to YouTube’s restrictions or something else? Has anyone experienced similar issues?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
