@tv21 If that's the case demand removal of all the porn site extractors. Far more damaging long-term, scientifically proven (see brain studies on porn addicts). youtube-dl is neutral except on sites that are dedicated to copyright infringement.

Support for this is going to require some extra work compared to others. Two ways to achieve this:

• Download direct via the HTTP URI, which is extremely slow from what I can tell. The MP4 URI expires eventually so I do not know how reliable this is anyway. You can try downloading in Firefox. Easy but probably not reliable.
• Use the torrent file, making a lightweight torrent client in downloaders (no this is not as hard as it sounds). The torrent client must ignore wss: URLs. On any video page, there is this line:

<script>
    var torrentId = "https://www.bitchute.com/torrent/2637/VoJn2bZ7i0Cd.torrent"
// ...
</script>

If this line isn't found for some reason, fall back on the meta tag and replace .jpg with .torrent: <meta name="twitter:image:src" content="https://www.bitchute.com/torrent/1565/CdQwcvtdRVyE.jpg">

Most certainly it will be faster than the direct HTTP method, especially since unlike their site, the normal torrent client can do out of order downloading. As far as I can tell, there is only one format they use so there is no need to be concerned about the user's preferences on this.
