youtube has recently been implementing download speed throttling on some video downloads. See: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326 . Youtube-dl does not yet have a solution for this occasional download speed throttling.

This yt-dlp fork has a workaround (though not a true fix) for the issue: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326#issuecom...

I'm pretty sure you don't even need those flags, and it just uses the non-throttled mdoe by default: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/492

you are correct. That comment is only applicable for the old version. Newer versions will bypass throttling out of the box
