So, I've been using a program, aptly called YouTubeDownloader to rip various videos from YT for years.
Recently, it's been returning an error:
The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
I searched it up and got what I expected.
It's an access violation error, meaning someone at Google is changing the layout and thus, blocking the downloader's access. It's admittedly against the EULA, (but nobody cares)
so I'm looking for new ways to download videos.
Suggestions?
