Hi PHATE.

 

Does this happen with each youtube video?

Check if your problem is one of the many listed in internetdownloadmanager.com - GENERAL QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS: When I try to download any file with IDM it just tries to connect to the Internet and cannot start downloading or shows some message that connection is refused.

 

Keep us updated.

I think maybe it is because of the copyright reason. Sometimes even when I use an online YouTube downloader, an error message would occur saying that my video doesn't exist or is not allowed tobe converted. Maybe you can use a screen recorder to overcome this issue. Win + G for Windows 10, Quicktime for Mac. I myself use Joyoshare Screen Recorder (https://www.joyoshare.com/screen-recorder-for-win/) as an alternative. Recording them in 1080p at 60fps and saving in different formats would work as well.
