          YouTube(compatible with other video sites as well) downloader. It’s a command line tool but highly versatile. Originally, youtube-dl used to be recommended but development nearly crawled to a halt on that.

            I got a GUI version of ytdl when I bought SVP (converts movies, shows, anime from 23FPS to 60+FPS) and I LOVE IT SO MUCH
