Hey everyone,
I just finished a big performance update for my YT-Downloader project, and it’s now way faster and more reliable than before 🚀
Here’s what changed 👇
🔧What I Improved
Faster downloads: Reduced timeouts and added parallel downloads.
Smart caching: Results are now saved, so repeated requests load almost instantly.
Better formats: Every video now downloads as a proper .mp4 (with audio!) and music as .mp3.
More compatible: Works smoothly on Windows, phones, and TVs.
Cleaner code & docs: Updated README and added full performance notes.
📈 Performance Gains
Task Before Now
Large video 15–30s 5–10s
Small video 5–10s 2–4s
Cached request — <100ms ⚡
🧠 What’s Cool
Uses H.264 + AAC for universal playback.
Automatically cleans up temp files.
Instant playback with +faststart.
Works great with yt-dlp and ffmpeg.
I also fixed the annoying “video without audio” issue — now every download has both 🎶🎥
