but the manual link downloads are now throttled since a few days while the one click download isn't

It can be sped up by using a multi-thread downloader such as IDM, aria2 or whatever.

I choose x264 on purpose because it is more widely supported across platforms and applications. If you want that, you can edit it yourself or use youtube-dl.

I don't think it has to do with mutithreading at all, it's the download behavior that changed, I was previously able to get 3MB/s per item, I'm now getting 2MB/burst (every 5-10 seconds) with nothing in between.

I'll see what I can do to edit it myself

It is. One click download is slow when I didn't implement multi-thread downloading, and it becomes much faster after.

So why were the links working fine just a few days ago? I haven't changed browsers nor updated my current one (chrome), the script version hasn't changed and the downloads just stopping for 10 seconds then downloading 2MB then stopping again doesn't add up to lack of multithreading.

EDIT: I tried out IDM, it's not able to reach the previous download speeds either, I'll boil it down to youtube changing how they serve video
