Slow Download Speed for YouTube #775

So I'm currently looking for IDM alternative, and this app actually fulfilled all needs from IDM. However, I don't know why if I downloaded a video from YouTube, it only showed 1/6 of the maximum speed I got in IDM. Weirdly, downloading other files shows the correct speed. Any idea why this happened?

FileCentipede is not a good choice for downloading videos from YouTube, Last time I checked IDM was using its own intermediary HTTP source (https://xxxxserver.com/download?=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx ) to get YouTube videos instead of extracting videos from the web page.

In the future, I'll add a feature to allow users to set their own intermediary HTTP source for special domains.
(decode YouTube cipher signature cannot be directly added to the browser extension, see https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/troubleshooting#prohibited-products)
