CCC stands for Cancel Cancel Culture. This tool allowed users to download single youtube videos and playlists, saving them locally to prevent their cancellation.
The last and current version of this tool is CCC v1.0. This version is the first release of the tool and it is still in alpha stage.
Despite saying that updates were sure to come, I have decided to suspend indefinetly the development of this tool due to lack of time and interest. Also, the YouTube API that was used to download has stopped working, and hence the whole project doesn't work any longer.
This tool is not intended for piracy or any other illegal activities. It is intended to be used to download videos that are at risk of being deleted or censored. The user is responsible for the use of this tool and the videos downloaded with it.
CCC requires the presence on running system of pytube, a lightweight, dependency-free Python library that allows you to download YouTube videos.
To install pytube, run the following command in your terminal:
pip install pytube
To use CCC run the script as you'd do normally, and stick to the following instructions:
- When prompted, enter the URL of the video, playlist or channel you want to download.
Note that if you want to download a playlist or a channel you have to follow the following format:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=...
. - Choose the download path for the video, playlist or channel you want to download.
Note that the format of the path must be
C:\folder1\folder2\folder3\
or/folder1/folder2/folder3/
. - If you want to download a playlist or a channel you have to choose the name of the zip file that will contain all the videos.
- Wait for the download to complete.
