I installed it but it does not seems to be able to download multiple videos at once. Using Ubuntu installed on an older 27″ imac. I installed it earlier on a ubuntu laptop and I liked it a lot, my plan was to install it on this desktop and buy the license but it is not performing the same way
You can add multiple downloads to the queue and it will download them simultaneously. If you want to restore your old purchase kidnly contact support email listed on https://snapcraft.io/qtubedl
