bug description
I can't tell if this is a browser issue or a cobalt issue, but some videos I've tried downloading from cobalt keep giving me this error message; "Couldn't download - Network issue". My internet works fine, so I don't believe that's the issue. I've tried turning "prefer hls for video & audio" off & restarting my computer, but this still keeps happening.
If someone could please help fix this and/or clarify what the problem is, that'd be nice.

@dumbmoron commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2025):
works for me, but is there any reason why you would enable hls?
@riotfest628 commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2025):
I prefer using hls because it doesn't cut the video off randomly.
@wukko commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2025):
cobalt verifies file integrity during local processing, but not during HLS streaming, it's actually best to not use HLS
@riotfest628 commented on GitHub (Jun 15, 2025):
I turned it off but it's still happening. This time with a different video I'm trying to download.
