There's a fork called yt-dlp which fixes the throttling issue along with adding additional features. If you prefer a GUI to the command line there's a frontend for it: yt-dlg

Thank you! I will try that.
Here is another tool I have used to get around the throttling, but it does not allow for a batch file of videos to be downloaded, but each video URL has to be pasted individually. However, this tool is easy to use. It's a website that requires no installation. At first it looks like it only downloads an MP3, but when you get to the next page, you can specify the MP4 file to download.

It works! I downloaded and installed yt-dlp on a Windows 7 machine, and the videos are downloading at full speed. I thank you for taking the time to share your tip.
