Awesome catch suggested by [MENTION=276279]TheFallenLord[/MENTION] the EagleGet Download Accelerator seems like a solution for the average joe
I've currently taken the 4kdownloader route specifically for the purpose of downloading YT videos and various chrome plugins for other sites.
Alternative
-----------
There is another route if the above fails (highly unlikely but possible). So far, this has worked flawlessly. This involves taking the Keepvid like route but ony this time no java and crap. Just open the site, paste link and then download the format you want it in.
For some reason though (the last time I used it), downloading from the source doesn't work. So you have to select the .mp4 format and it will still proceed to convert the already converted .mp4 into .mp4 again (or so it appears). Just push the start button after selecting .mp4 and proceed. You will get the correct file anyways
So far, no problems. I checked with other versions of the same video downloaded from 4kdownloader, keepvid, keeptube... and it downloads correctly. Cannot say for now, but the last week I downloaded everything was fine. No problems with 1080p version. No missing audio stream. No such crap.
Here it is, clipconverter
Verdict: I still think EagleGet should be tried out and someone should comment after using it IF ONE DOES NOT wants to use the already excellent 4kdownloader. The other best tool to use *should* be jdownloader because I have known it to be a serious utility for recording and grabbing videos off webpages for a very long time. The only con is that it uses java and I simply hate it. I was looking for a java-free way of downloading YT vids and clipconverter does the job flawlessly
