YouTube doesn’t work in my country (Russia), and to download videos using yt-dlp (or simply watch them) I need VPN or Tor.
Until today I downloaded videos using yt-dlp through free VPN and the speed was 50-60 kb/sec.
Today my free VPN stopped working and I tried command-line Tor. The web test of my internet speed shows me 5 mb/sec without Tor and 2.5-3.5 with Tor (and websites, including YouTube, work fine), but when I try to download videos, the speed is about 1-2 (one-two!) kb/sec.
Guys, do you have the same problem?
