Description:
youtube-dl is no more active project. Last update was on 1st July. (3 months back). Which is too long for a very demanding project.

From almost 2 weeks now, the downloads are throttled by Youtube and very slow and there is no fix currently.

Someone at https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29965 also mentioned that owner is busy with things in life.

There is another very active alternative https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp and mostly a drop-in replacement. And claims to be better than youtube-dl.

So requesting to please adopt it too and shift the AUR package to community
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yt-dlp

It has good amount of votes and good popularity on AUR.

Thank you
