I have provided permalinks to the latest files for the same files you download from your repository.
these repositories have all versions, and yt-dlp in zip is standalone, unpacked which, when launched, is not unpacked into a temporary folder, and others
so is ffmpeg, there is a bin that I provided, and a shared one for embedding
now YouTube is changing something again and throttling the speed, so program updates come out often and it should be better to update from the main repository, but you better know what to do
This can ensure we always get latest version.
However to do this way, we need refactor in both browser side and server side.
Another problem is that the extraction of .zip archive is not as flexible as our .exe self-extractor.
