Is that YouTube forbids downloads and while folk find YouTube downloaders then Google implements a new stopper and the war escalates.
If you only download YouTube complain to the app's author.
Have a Lenovo notebook with Windows 10 Home. Download a lot of youtube videos but now see downloads are slowing to a halt. C drive has 709GB of 800GB free. Have always used diskcleanup. Recent runs show space regained but downloads are still nearly frozen. What else can be implemented? What other diagnostics could be launched?
