ytarchive is also great for downloading livestreams.

Unfortunately, it's not as up-to-date as yt-dlp so it can be fragile against blocks. I'm hoping that yt-dlp adds some functionality for downloading portions of a livestream (i.e. not downloading from the start, 120 hours ago).

Not sure if this applies to livestreams but look into the --download-sections arg?

yt-dlp --download-sections "*05:00-05:10" <YouTube URL>

Doesn’t work for livestreams as far as I know. There’s an open PR: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/6498
