Do you believe that we're in the Last Times (as described in The Holy Bible)? If you believe this then you can count yourself in good company with many other believers in The Word of God. People who have this belief often start archiving things that are important to themselves and try to put them somewhere safe. A lot of our culture can be found on YouTube.com. If you want to preserve media hosted on YouTube.com, then your best bet is iTubeGo. This software is the very best media downloader. It supports leaching files from over one thousand different media hosting sites, so its not just YouTube. However, as regarding YouTube, it bypasses YT's "Access Forbidden" messages that can come about when using Linux's yt-dlp CLI app. Somehow iTubeGo bypasses YT's blocking of downloading. It seems that YT can detect whether yt-dlp is being used, however when iTubeGo is used it eventually just works after clicking the refreshing download gear button.

I am sure that they are looking a ways to deal with iTubeGo.

"Free users are limited to three downloads before they have to
upgrade."

Never heard of it. How long have they been around?

I normally get around this with the --xff flag for yt-dlp;

Geo-restriction:
--geo-verification-proxy URL Use this proxy to verify the IP address for some
geo-restricted sites. The default proxy specified
by --proxy (or none, if the option is not present)
is used for the actual downloading

--xff VALUE How to fake X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to try
bypassing geographic restriction. One of "default"
(only when known to be useful), "never", an IP block
in CIDR notation, or a two-letter ISO 3166-2 country code

Hope this helps

Not something I would've picked up for myself, but our church uses 4KVideoDownloader, which seems to work fine and is a bit cheaper than iTubeGo.

Cool, thanks for the tip MeaTLoTioN. I've written this down on a pad of paper beside me and intend on checking it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up, Greenlfc. One other reason why I have stuck with iTubeGo is that it works on something like a thousand other media sharing platforms, not just YouTube. It's like a universal file downloader and once you have bought the package all future upgrades for it come as part of the package, so there is no need to worry about upgrades. Its user interface is nice as well, with easy fetching of files from any format into any format, not just MP4 and MP3. I'd recommend it. Just don't use it for pirating stuff and you should be fine. The Americans are particularly persecutory when it comes to pirating music and videos, but most videos on YouTube are put there for the purpose of distributing them, so you just have to weigh out what the desires of the content producers have for their content. Could be fine, could be bad, you just have to use your best judgment. I hope this helps.

Cheers!
