Anyone have a recommendation for a good (preferably an unobtrusive extension/plugin) Chrome download manager?

I'm trying to download a long list of files from a directory but apparently there's no way to limit the number of simultaneous downloads on chrome which seems dumb as gently caress.

edit: also is there a discord?

I'm trying to play a youtube video in VLC (Open Network Steam) in order to use its magical direct linking capabilities (Tools>Media Information>Location).

It plays some youtube videos no problem but not others and I don't know why.

Can anyone provide any insight into this issue or recommend an alternative solution for my youtube video grabbing needs (preferably not a website or app that re-encodes the video)?

edit: VLC and my various drivers are up to date afaik, Windows 10

VLC development is not exactly on fire these days, while youtube is a constant moving target. You might have better luck with VLC nightlies if whoever maintains the youtube script is submitting patches when youtube changes.

This worked :) thank you.

Although now VLC plays video sort of undocked from the interface and just floating there in the top left of the screen, unable to be manipulated, which I'm guessing is the sort of weird jank poo poo you have to expect from nightlies. I can't get it to re-unite itself with the main window. Not a huge issue but it makes my rear end burgers itch. Hope they fix it soon

Couldn't get this to download the previously undownloadable videos like nightly vlc could

Is there a current recommended thing that checks all your drivers are up to date? I'd been relying on things to take care of themselves but for some reason amd adrenaline just decided to stop doing that and I assume there's all sorts of other poo poo that should probably be updating itself but isn't.

Back in the old days things like cpu and chipset drivers made a huge difference but I've been out of the loop for a while.

am on windows 10
