For example, it took 15 minutes to load an 8K 4320p 60fps video on YouTube and the video kept buffering, and you wanted to download them for smooth playback offline, or you'd like to rip them off YouTube for safekeeping in case they are taken down. Free video downloaders are a dime a dozen for the task, but few of them really support YouTube 8K video free downloads.
