Description

I tried to download a series of videos, none of them has restrictions or needs authentication. I could open all of them on an incognito browser. Does anybody know why I cannot download them?

The videos are:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYkUl8MrXgA
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5parOfpuEQ
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ARBzok9aU
