Slow download speeds.

See original GitHub issue

I’m asking this to check if it is a known problem.

I am running Ubuntu 21.04 and have this version: youtube-dl --version 2021.06.06

When I am downloading videos the speed does seem to be limited to about 56KiB/s

I’ve heard youtube detect downloads and speed limit them.
