I fixed this problem by using:

ytdl(url, { highWaterMark: 1 << 25 })

I hope this helps.

@fent @Frontesque @wawahuy for any one who has this problem and still getting 416 error: I simply fixed the issue by adding dlChunkSize parameter in ytdl() function and it works as a charm now! this is a sample example of it: ytdl("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-yVYsbvJas" , {filter : "audioonly" , quality: "highestaudio" , dlChunkSize : 1024 * 1024 }).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('music.mp3')) the default dlChunkSize has been set to 10mb (1024 * 1024 * 10). you could try different values and see what works best for you. I don’t exactly know why its a solution but it works for me! hope it helps 😃

its not really a (good)fix as it makes resources(dl, ram, cpu) go brrrrr edit: however for this issue, i will be trying to find the cause soon
