Hi.  If I try to play a youtube video using a console app like mpv, or
if I try to download a youtube video directly by using youtube-dl, the
speed is about dialup speed.  Now, I have a Winblows box in the same
network and I don't get the slowdown.  I have a program there which
downloads the same exact youtube video quite rapidly.  Is youtube-dl
doing something wrong maybe by having a wrong user agent, or is there
something else to be done?  My version is 2021.06.06.  This seems
quite old to me for this program.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
