Change the time of day. I'm trying to download a video from YouTube, the download starts, and the download speed in Kb increases from about 10 to 500. Then at the moment he writes "Network error". I checked the Internet bandwidth, everything is fine, changed the browser, the problem remains. I have disabled and enabled this feature "https://cobalt.tools/settings/video#youtube-hls ". What should I do? If it has something to do with the geographical location, then I'm from Russia.
