bug description

Noticed that cobalt.tools time-to-time return immediately after I try to download a Youtube video an empty file (0 B size). It`s a float issue: it happens not every day; sometimes ones and fixes when I refresh the page. Some times it may happen twice or more times continually.

reproduction steps

  1. go to https://www.youtube.com/
  2. search for a video
  3. click on a "Share" button near a dislike button
  4. click on a "Copy" button right to the video URL
  5. open https://cobalt.tools/
  6. paste the link to the input after it becomes active
  7. press ">>" (go) button
  8. the file explorer window opens
  9. press "Save" button
