Used this downloading tool for offline viewing during travel with limited connectivity. Core functionality works as advertised, handling standard resolutions reliably with speed varying by source quality. Limitations surface quickly though: frequent ad overlays interrupt the workflow constantly, some higher resolution options fail silently requiring retries, and the terms of service ambiguity around copyrighted content leaves users navigating legal grey areas without clear guidance from the platform itself. Useful for personal archival of own content, less defensible for other use cases. Ad tolerance required.
