Ah, sorry, I thought those were referring the cobalt site as whole. My bad.
As for links i was downloading a specific hurricane animation series, those being 1981 and 1982, I downloaded the previoustwo years fine (though the same issue arised, i fixed that quite easily, now its just not working entirely)
I'll try redownloading and close if i managed to fix it (highly unlikely but i will)
edit: unfortunately, no luck

It seems like something screws up when it gets to a certain point

cobalt itself isn’t screwing anything up. videos get cut off early due to youtube either blocking or intentionally breaking streams at random points. cobalt catches these errors and stops the stream.

Should at least make it not download though. But I got it working. Thanks for the help!

@Interstate-404 commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2025):
That’s just when cobalt screws up the video and ends there.
