Downloading 2160p60 video files from YouTube?

My connection struggles to stream 2160p60 YouTube videos.

Is there a way I can download them for later viewing?

Keepvid.com

That doesn't allow the download of anything over 720p, unless you pay for KeepVid Pro.

I think technically this might be against the rules. Sure you can rip music or download videos etc.. but even if just being used for later viewing it is still taking someone else's IP and using it in a way they didn't necessarily intend.

Oh wow, they must've changed that then, in that case I dunno, sorry mate

That's a shame

He's got a valid case though. This is hardly piracy. As a Youtuber I'd happily allow folks to enjoy my content in this manner if their internet is a bit sluggish. Obviously many people are greedy twits though.

there is some bit in their terms of service basically saying that you can't download content unless you see a download link

it is piracy otherwise

I can see their point of view, absolutely, but *personally* I wouldn't have an issue with it. I think this really is down to the content creator, however Google (sorry, Alphabet, lol) are obviously doung the right thing from a business perspective.
