For refence the video I'm downloading is **17.7MiB**.

That is like less than 20MB.

It's tiny.

And I've been downloading this for over 10 or 15 minutes.

Slow as a snail.

Hm..... What are the best apps to download YT videos? Without using YT premium, of course

There's 4K Video Downloader, Content Archiver, youtube-dl.

I use Content Archiver (custom made program for the archive project) because it archives the metadata, thumbnails, descriptions and embeds it all into the video itself.

Or you can use the fucktons of online web sites to download videos.

But tons of those also have viruses and pop ups.

Yeah, those virus and pop ups are a pain

I would shout out the guy who made Content Archiver for me but I don't remember if he's ever given me permission to credit him.

At least in Hermit Hangout and Monkey Business.

And I can't find any examples in my DM history with him where either of us have used the word credit.

Okay I just messaged him and he says he doesn't mind.

The guy is @PhoenixK7PB.

@Misanthropic Imperial you downloading stuff from the dark net? 😮

This isn't the first time.

I've downloaded books from there before.

damn dude, how do you know its not tampered?

I don't.

But none of it's ever caused me any trouble so far.

I have a Discord server where I have lists of sites I found on Tor (most of the links are dead now).

Said server also has advice for staying safe whilst browsing the dark web.

oh okay, I'm hesitant on using Tor (cuz I'm a pussy) I'll see if I do though

Honestly, once you get over the thrill of "I'm on the dark web! Holy shit!" it loses its mysterious nature.

lol okay

Just avoid everything porn/murder related.

If you go on the pastebin clones you'll see links every four posts or so for cp.

Just avoid it.

won't trolls mask links for that type of content though? and trick you on to going on those sites

There *are* websites advertising hitman/hacker services etc, I have no idea if they're legit or not though.

aight, you got any surface web resources that say how to stay safe in the deep web?

```won't trolls mask links for that type of content though? and trick you on to going on those sites``` Oddly enough most of the links that say they lead to x (for example books, or conspiracy theories or whatever) actually lead to exactly what they say.

There's my Discord server.

I'll DM it to you.

aight, thanks

Again most of the links are dead.

Dark web is a lie to get people to confess to crimes

I don't think I've ever read any posts even on pastebin clones of people confessing to crimes.

Tbh there are probably more surface web examples of that than anything.
