This is perfect timing. Just this morning I spent 20 minutes searching for an up to date download site that could handle a TikTok video embedded into a Reddit post. Just tried Cobalt and it just worked with a single click.

Only thing that would make it better is a browser extension or a bookmarklet.

@SwiftOnSecurity Most useful thing I've seen in a while! Hope it lives a long happy life.

@SwiftOnSecurity @w if you want the same functionality without needing to go through a third party, github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp is your friend. It is able to download pretty much everything I ever threw at it.

@w @SwiftOnSecurity fair, but why run and maintain a server when I can call the program at will and it sits there without maintenance otherwise?

Not saying not to do it if you so choose, mind. Each to their own, etc.

@RichiH @w @SwiftOnSecurity for a moment I thought I could run it on my homeserver and have it dump data directly to my file server, which would be a really neat usecase for me.

Try Parabolic (GUI) or yt-dlp (CLI, Parabolic uses this on its backend).
Download sites always die in a couple of months, and downloads have to go through them so it's so much slower than using a local app with the same compatibility.

The Shinxposter

@SwiftOnSecurity @w I use it on the daily, my discord bot uses it on the daily. 100% would recommend.

@SwiftOnSecurity @w I'm getting some YT videos that don't download. Just a 0KB empty container. So the Goog Death Star might be onto it. It's hit and miss.

@memetic_stramash @SwiftOnSecurity we’ll do server maintenance later today to make sure it doesn’t happen again btw

@w @SwiftOnSecurity Oh my word! You developed this thing, do the needful things in terms of uptime, sustaining, etc. and do so without charging for it. And then you apologize? HA!

Absolutely no worries at all. If it works 1 time out of 10 tries, for free! that's better than what I had before. But anyway, THANK YOU. What a cool service.
