bug description
sometimes cobalt works with downloading from instagram and sometimes it doesn’t, I can’t tell if there’s any difference between the ones that work or not. other instagram-specific downloaders (e.g snapinsta.app) have no problems with the same posts.

error 1:
error 2:
(also you should capitalize the "i" but that’s not as much of an issue lol)

(ignore the content of the videos, they’re just random ones a friend sent me)
platform information
happens on both ios 17 safari and win10 chrome, I think it’s a problem with the site and not the browser

Still happens regularly even with the new version of Cobalt. e.g.

Reels also don't work, eg. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAcE4nvMwxm

Same issue here e.g. with this reel:

(Download possible with https://snapinsta.app, so I think the issue depends on cobalt)

I'm still having the same issue
