Hi -

Can anyone help me with a video down-loader?
I don't have regular internet access & so need one to down load content to view off-line.
(If there's no open-source/free software version - can someone point me a the direction where I might find something workable? Its kind of vital for my work/life)

Many thanks

The 2024.08.06 version is available for Trisquel 11 Aramo in the backports repo:

The scripts running in the backend for packages.trisquel.org might be broken, as the last attempts to update it don't seem to have worked... yet.

For yt-dlp in backports we track the lastest release available from Debian Testing, at the time of writing that's: 2025.06.09-1

Regards

Even better, thank you for the update. Indeed 2024.08.06 felt somewhat stretched for the backported version.

I am currently under strict Mini aramo-security regime, as I have rolled back any hectic business on the stained edges in order to focus on technological sustainability.

Parabolic is a graphical frontend to yt-dlp. It is in Flathub. To install Flatpak, setup Flathub's "floss" subset and install Parabolic, execute in a terminal:
$ sudo apt install flatpak
$ flatpak remote-add --subset=floss flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak install org.nickvision.tubeconverter

Notice that the "floss" subset includes some free software that only aims to launch proprietary software!
