This link has expired

Why this happens: A resolved link is only valid for 30 minutes, so zero residual data lingers on the server.

Paste the same URL again to generate a fresh stream descriptor.

Only 360p / 720p is offered on a video you know is 4K / HD

Why this happens: Higher resolutions arrive as separate video and audio streams that must be combined on demand.

Pick the highest offered rung or check back in a moment while the stream indexes.

This content is private or unavailable

Why this happens: The post is behind a login, restricted to private followers/friends, age-gated, or has been removed.

Ensure the content is publicly visible without logging into an account.

This file is larger than the limit (500 MB)

Why this happens: Single downloads are capped at 500 MB to keep the streaming pipeline ultra-fast for everyone.

Pick a lower resolution (e.g. 1080p instead of 4K), or download the audio MP3 track.

The download sits at 'Preparing' for a while

Why this happens: Video and audio streams are being fetched, muxed, and buffered before sending to your browser.

Give it 15-60 seconds for long HD videos. Lower rungs and audio download almost instantly.

Please wait a moment and try again

Why this happens: A light rate limit allows up to 5 concurrent downloads per minute per visitor.

Wait about 45 seconds, then resume your downloads.
