youtube seems to be ratelimiting cobalt. try other instances in https://instances.hyper.lol
@dumorando commented on GitHub (Jun 7, 2024):
oh
@wukko commented on GitHub (Jun 7, 2024):
not sure if that's the case, i feel like ipv6 network is dying yet again
@pr4j3sh commented on GitHub (Jun 7, 2024):
I couldn't agree less. Youtube is rate limiting cobalt!
I tried to download this from here, and cobalt says that the
video is unavailable. Hence, I tried the one of the other instance and voila, it works!Thanks to @lostdusty for this.
Hereby I'm also attaching a screenshot for the same.
