download speed of url youtube-dl returns is very slow #15912
Comments

Expected. youtube-dl uses downloading based on separate chunks to work around the rate limitation imposed by YouTube. |
I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2018.03.14
At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections
Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
Checked that provided video/audio/playlist URLs (if any) are alive and playable in a browser
What is the purpose of your issue?
If the purpose of this issue is a bug report, site support request or you are not completely sure provide the full verbose output as follows:
I want to create API server that responses youtube audio URL to let client download youtube audio file directly.
So I get youtube audio file URL using the following command.
And I got following audio url.
And I opened this url in chrome and download it, but it takes about fifty seconds, about 60 kb/s speed.
Using wget command, results are same.
But for some reason, Without -g option, Download can be done immediately.
It takes about 1-2 seconds.
Why is there a difference in speed like this?
Both download url are same?
