Getting started
To do this properly, you need to understand how those websites work.
For the shake of simplicity fellow “pirates”, they utilize m3u wiki link
m3u899% of the time.
You will also need yt-dlp install it if you don’t have already
Example on utilizing this knowledge
- Go to your favorite streaming site
- Simple press
F12 - Go to
Network - Select
XHR(XMLHttpRequest) - Filter URLs for
m3u8- If you find more than one, just test them out, you will soon find the trick on your own :)
- Copy the URL
- Open a terminal and type
yt-dlp <your-copied-link>
Do it Ethically
Some may call us pirates, which I find really cool
But the true evil Pirates/criminals are the ones that keep the power to themselves and don’t share it with others
Information is the only true power, and it should be free(free as in free speech) for all.

Just install this download manager https://neatdownloadmanager.com/index.php/en/
Literarily catches any media even better than IDM and its free.
Is there anything for Linux?
Maybe but likely not as good.
download managers only catch unencrypted streams. It will not work on Netflix, etc.
I’ve been using IDM (paid) for quite some time. Would you recommend switching to NeatDownloadManager and why? How is it better than IDM?
i gave it a go and didnt really find any differences between the two
Yes, it’s easier, faster, smaller and generally better.
