@dstftw what is this a duplicate of? I have searched the bug tracker before posting and have found nothing. |

Just to clarify: this is not about "having parallel downloads". It's about downloading a single video, where youtube-dl ends up downloading two files, one for audio, and one for video. I would like this to happen in parallel. |
Make sure you are using the latest version: run
youtube-dl --versionand ensure your version is 2018.02.08. If it's not, read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

I would like youtube-dl to download audio and video in parallel, if it decides to download both separately. Currently I have to wait for the video to download, be done, then for the audio to download, and only then does the muxing begin. The download would be much faster if the audio were downloaded while the video was being downloaded.
