It was a real step forward after the problem of not being able to download videos from X.com was finally solved a short time ago. But it would be even greater progress if the downloader could finally download faster than 500kb/s at X! It is unbearable, when I download a larger video, for example 50MB, it takes about 10 minutes! Using the online downloader SSSTwitter, I download the video at 25MB/s!!! In a few seconds, it is in the download folder.

Hi, how did you solve the problem of not being able to download videos from X.com?

I've been using Video Downloader for a few years and this has never happened to me. Suddenly all the videos I try to download are private and require user and password, without any exception.

I don't know if YouTube has put any restriction to prevent downloading videos, so I want to ask if you know anything about this.

This has nothing to do with my problem, I am complaining about the absolutely slow download speed for X videos. I only rarely receive the request to log in if a video is private and should not simply be downloaded by everyone without an account.
If you want to download private videos, you have to enter your X-account details. I am registered with X and can therefore download any video. If you don't have an X account, you're out of luck and can't download private videos.
