#4k video downloader free limitations update#

Besides that the current version has made a lot of good changes and improvements over the years and is actually significantly faster at downloading while using the latest update of Windows 10, version 2004. The problem with this is that because the video downloaded the application does not try to re-download it as it thinks the video is fine. The last issue is that sometimes the application downloads a video but it fails while downloading and the video ends up being broken, for instance a 10 minute video may say that it's been downloaded but when you try to watch it the video freezes 30 seconds in, and you can see from the low file size that the video is not completely downloaded. Another issue is that the 'Skip duplicates in playlist' preference hasn't worked properly in over a year now.

In previous versions the videos downloaded from a playlist would all properly download into one folder. However the main issue I'm having in the recent version 4.13 is that when I download a YouTube Playlist it creates a separate folder with an M3U file but downloads all the videos from the playlist outside of the separate folder in the root of the download directory (C/Users/user/Videos). Obviously YouTube makes changes to their platform so updates and bugs are inevitable. I bought the application in a $15 dollar bundle in June of 2018 and everything worked properly at the time.

I'm in full agreement with the OP on this one.

Unfortunately, I'm code illiterate, so please don't ask me to be the one to write it. We really need a NON-CORPORATE FULLY FREE OPEN-SOURCE alternative to all the limit-crippled 'freemium' crap that's out there now. This seems to be a recurring problem with 'freeware' apps and I'm quickly running out of options as to which corporatist's 'freemium' app I'll switch to next. I don't like it, but I'll do it as long as there is no malware or OpenCandy involved (which I'm definitely NOT tolerating!).Д«ut limits on my downloads per day, limits on simultaneous downloads (which you HAVE to have in order to utilize the playlist downloading features) AND limits on how many videos in a playlist I can download ON TOP OF the adware aspect is going to cause me to dump what has otherwise been the best and most reliable YouTube media downloader I have used thus far. I may give benefit of the doubt for having ads running in the software.

While I understand that the times are tight right now and NOTHING is normal (COVID-19, political stupidity, et cetera, ad infinitum), it doesn't justify this kind of greedy behavior as a means of funding the development costs of keeping this software up to date and secure. I simply cannot just 'get a job' and pay money I don't have just so I can have usable software. In fact, I MUST rely on what few free-to-use options that are available in order to obtain the music and videos I want to save and enjoy offline. I'm currently unemployed and I don't have $15 to just throw away on a so-called 'Pro' license.

I don't know if I'd call this new version 'garbage', per se, but the addition of a 30-download daily cap is VERY dishonest and back-stabby, in my humble opinion.
