I've been downloading my subscriptions and loading them into Plex. Plenty of room for improvement in that system, but I get a nostalgic hit of YouTube long ago. Man, it's fallen so far over the years.

Also related, I've hit 2.4TB of internet use for the first time last month doubling my previous record.

There are several out there using yt-dlp. Tube archivist, tube sync, etc. They are fairly straightforward to set up in docker if you use that.

Not OP but I use the arr family of services (Sonarr and Radar, though there are more) and NZBGet as my downloader.

Yeah, that’s a lot. As a comparison: My connected family of 5 hits 1.3TB-1.5TB on a monthly basis. Streaming apps in 4K/Dolby Vision and Atmos, YT, gaming, FaceTiming constantly on 500/500 fiber.
