The best YouTube downloaders, and how Google silenced the press

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).

Huh, last/only time I used yt-dlp on a livestream it downloaded exactly from when I ran it, didn't get anything in the past at all (which was a shame for me personally at the time, as I would have liked the earlier stuff too).

Maybe that was a difference in the stream itself though, since I've experienced both past-seekable and live-only live streams on YouTube.
