Oh thank GOD, I thought I was the only one with my ISP or something rate limiting me. Thanks you to the above dudes who also mentioned it, any fix?

Damn, YT picked the worst possible time to change shit under their hood. I currently have 87 GB worth of YT videos queued up, and only getting 55-65 KBps.

Too bad. I was there before myself. Luckily I'm not busy at the moment getting videos.. Approx 25 a day at the moment.I just let 5 download at once and let it chug along all day and they will get done.I always can use the online downloaders if I want it done fast until we get over this issue......Just Google Online Youtube Downloader and they will show up.Make sure its the online downloader and not the shareware app.

Take care.........

I am 100% NOT recommending this app as good, but i downloaded IDM (Internet Download Manager) again after like a decade and its still working fine. As much as i hate to say it, im actually fully maxing out my 100Mb/s connection because their file split/download seems to work while jdownloader disabled it.

At least until the next update happens to fix this and i can get back to normal, i can at least confirm IDM still works for Youtube.

MediaHuman youtube downloader also works with full speed.

But I would prefer to use JDownloader again. I really hope the team gets it fixed soon. Thx for your work...

Hallo.
Normalerweise flutschte jeder YT Download seit Jahren immer mit Highspeed.
Seit 2-3 Tagen nur leider gefühlt noch in Zeitlupe mit um die 100kb/s.
Was ist passiert, was kann man machen ?

Hello. My JD2 started throttling download speed less than a week ago.

I noticed that it only happens with Youtube, no other video site or file hosting with the same symptom.

Apparently there is nothing wrong with my settings: ISP is OK; limiter button not checked; downloads not paused; no red lines at the traffic corner; etc.

I'm just here to communicate. I STRONGLY BELIEVE that Google/Youtube has made some changes to the services of the video platform, and this is causing the inconvenient download limit.

OBSERVATION: a detail caught my attention, the process of downloading videos on Youtube (which takes place in two parts, first video then audio) is limited in the "video stream" but as soon as it ends and starts the "audio stream" but curiously not limited; more or less like this, while downloading the video is limited to 50kbps, and as soon as it downloads the audio is no limit ~kbps.

When the problem started, my first measure was to do a clean reinstall, but as it didn't solve it, I decided to go to the advanced settings panel. I changed two simple parameters there, searched for 'chunks' and checked the box on the lines 'Youtube: Custon Chunk Value' and another line 'RealDebridCom: Ignore Server Side Chunks Num'. This made a small difference, the limit jumped from 50kbps to 80kbps, always and only for Youtube links. Oh, also mentioning that I left the chunks setting at max, value 20, in general mode.

I will understand that this incopnvenient will be corrected in the next program updates, as I understand that JDownloader works according to the parameters imposed by the video or file service providers. Right? So... this is it. Good job to you. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure YT made this change because of us, I don't get modern speeds when I download, about 1mb/s but I download all day as well so I'm sure YT saw GB's upon GB's being downloaded weeks on end and swapped the system out lol

I did see the team was aware and working on a fix and for the sake of these YT videos/channels disappearing forever I hope it's soon.

Hallo
seit heute stelle ich fest, dass der "nur Audio"-Download aus Youtube, also kein Video, Bild & Text, nur die Audio reine Datei, mit JD2 nur noch extrem langsam geht (~2 Min./5Mb)
Ich benutze keinen Premium, nur die Free Version.
Hatte schon mal einen Thread vor einiger Zeit hier aufgemacht in dem unter anderem auch dieses Problem behoben wurde (https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=90415)

Danke
Thorsten

I have the same issue for a week now. Haven't changed anything in my settings but YT downloads are hovering around 40-80 kb/s.

Btw: I have not received any updates for almost 2 months. Before that there were several updates every week. Is it me or are updates no longer being delivered?

Please note if the downloads from Youtube are like this on yours? Before, remembering: the process is done in two stages, first 'video' and then 'audio'. As I said, the 'video stream' has a low download rate (40~80 kbps), but in the audio stream the rate shoots up to the maximum allowed on the connection. Did you notice if it's like that on yours? Here in mine it is like this, and I remember well that the normal is precisely the opposite, the download rate of the 'video part' uses all the bandwidth and the 'audio part' is usually lower (it used to be 100 kbps approximately). Definitely, due to the long time without updates on JD, Youtube "walked with the code" while JDownloade was "resting". I believe that a JD update is in order to correct this problem.

Bei mir seit gestern dasselbe. Schließe mich der Frage an.

[perspicacia]

The YT slow speed issue only seems to occur with the video variants that use DASH_VIDEO container. I changed it to one that uses MP4 container and I seem to get full speed download.
Hope that helps some of you

Hi perspicacia. I noticed this yesterday but hesitated to report about it here until I get more info in whats going on..

Some download normal and some downloading at 50 to 64k.

So it looks like only a Dash variants issue..

Thanks for your input Hope this info from us will help the Dev team .

Take care..

Same issue here, nothing wrong with my internet, I can download extremely fast normally, but grabbing youtube videos with Jdownloader 2 is getting me 75kib/s ish as of recent.

How can I change the container? I always download mp4 only (no mkv or webm), but my download speed is 60-70 kbps only.

Yes, it's more of a condition than a problem. We are limited to waiting for a move from the JD2 program maintainers. I believe they should already be aware of the need for a more focused update to fix this issue with YT. With me it's like this, the 'video stream' downloads extremely slowly while the 'audio stream' uses all the bandwidth. Usually it's the other way around, video uses unlimited bandwidth and audio limits bandwidth. Pointing out: JD has always downloaded files from YT in two steps, a first one for the video stream (fast mode) and the second and last one for the audio stream (limited mode, usually at 100~120 kbps). Let's see what the JD guys are going to do, they're taking too long, omg...

[Lemurian1897]

Hallo!

Ich habe das gleiche Problem. Aufeinmal lassen sich Youtube Video quälend langsam runterladen. Woran liegt das? Vorher immer so ca. 1 - 3 Minuten wenn es ein großes Video war mit 720p und jetzt fast 2 Stunden.
Kann Youtube überhaupt das Speedlimit regeln? Ist doch kein reine Downloadportal so wie ein One Click Hoster oder?

When your link is in the Linkgrabber right click on the video file then on youtube in the drop down menu and then change video variant in the secondary menu.

You will now have a choice of variants and you will see on the right what each variant uses for as a container - choose one that does not use DASH
