I managed to fix the HTTP import on #FloofTube (https://flooftube.net) last night!
It'd been down since 1st January 2026 and I found out the HTTP proxy details had changed.
That said, the proxy still runs at 56 KB/s so it can only download 1 video at a time. That might sound slow (because it is
) , YouTube's designed to blacklist anyone trying to download videos (without ads) so it has to use a slow proxy to workaround it.
If you're uploading to FloofTube, it's recommended to upload directly.
If you have a large batch of videos to upload, you could always send me an online storage link with the high res videos (DM me here) and I'll upload them for you (add me as an editor to the channel and remove me once complete). I can upload them on a 10Gbps link to the server, but it'll still be bottle-necked by the encoder trying to create the different resolutions.
Wish there were more offline import options like being able to manually import the yt-dlp metadata with the video...
