Thanks for checking out YTShortsDL! I wanted to elaborate on the technical challenge of bulk downloading Shorts.

The complexity isn't just network speed; it’s reliably parsing and queuing media from a single channel or playlist efficiently without hitting rate limits or running into format inconsistencies, which are common when dealing with short-form streaming. We invested heavily in our custom queuing engine to ensure stability during high-concurrency jobs.

Right now, the service is 100% focused on speed and reliability for bulk batching. We see the planned AI features (like the summarization and watermarking tools) as the next major technical hurdle—shifting from a pure download utility to a content optimization engine.

For the HN community: We're running this on minimal infrastructure right now. If you've worked on large-scale media retrieval and queuing systems, I'd love to hear your thoughts on potential performance bottlenecks as we scale. All feedback is welcome!
