Also, pausing and unpausing speeds up the download for some reason

I would risk breaking uYou if I tried to fix that issue you’re having.

Also, pausing and unpausing speeds up the download for some reason

and I did not know you could uncap the download speed when unpausing/pausing the download. That’s pretty cool.

I was having same issue but was able to find a solution.
Apparently, some features (including download feature) are broken past YouTube version 19.21.3 per #771.
I also built application myself using different versions and can confirm download feature works on 19.21.2.
According to above issue, spoofing version to 19.21.3 also works although I was unable to make it work.
Btw, release page said:

Current YouTube Version: v19.21.2
