SNATCH stays lightweight: a portable Windows downloader with a native GUI, an interactive CLI and automatic engine selection.

  • Subtitles-only downloads: the new subs format in the CLI (also an entry in the interactive format list) and in the GUI downloads just the subtitles, converted to .srt — the video itself is never downloaded. Languages come from --sub-langs (default ru,en).
  • Honest results: when a video has none of the requested subtitles, the job now fails with a clear message instead of reporting success with an empty folder.
  • HTTP 429 means "try cookies": after rate limiting the interactive CLI offers a retry and lets you pick the browser to read cookies from; -y prints a tip; the GUI retry button mentions rate limits too.
  • Audit hardening: aria2 links without a file name in their path get a pinned deterministic target; the cookie hint no longer fires on hint-like words inside downloaded titles; invisible bidi characters are stripped from loader output; .torrent fetches refuse HTTPS-to-HTTP redirects; the GUI redraws less and allocates less per line.

Download snatch-windows-x64.zip, extract it and run snatch-app.exe for the GUI or snatch.exe for the CLI. The application downloads yt-dlp, aria2c, ffmpeg and Deno separately when needed.

The ZIP includes an Ed25519-signed manifest covering its files and their SHA-256 hashes. This is separate from Windows Authenticode: SmartScreen may still warn. See the README and release verification instructions.
