Does anyone know where this potentially very handy service might have gone?
I was looking for it today but it seems to have been "disappeared" (well, I couldn't find it, anyway).

A DuckGo search on "save videos from websites" throws up lots of hits though, but I don't know whether the list includes this particular one.

Thanks in advance for any info..

Also Streamlink which supports a lot of sites and can be extended via plugins - it is a CLI program though.
