Nice tips, thanks.
But I am a little worry about if FDM can download restricted YouTube videos. I tried some of the downloaders, none of them can download restricted videos. One of it is 5kplayer, quite similar to FDM (copy & paste to download, extract audio too), and it failed to download restricted videos too.
Didn’t use IDM, don’t know if it could or not.
