   i use it but i wouldn't say regularly... mostly for grabbing some rocket   
   launch videos for later analysis...

   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   
      
      
   FWIW:   
      
   i just pulled ULA's recent Atlas V launch video (Uz8zGWycsOY) and 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...
