Pipe-viewer download speed throttling query

[celtichawk]

I ran across this yesterday and was wondering if it is something I missed in the config, or if it's something with my computer.

I'm usin the latest commit of pipe-viewer and a distro packaged yt-dlp. The config file is the default, bar changing resolution to audio instead of best.

If I call yt-dlp from outside pipe-viewer I get 5+ mb download speeds. However if I download a video from within pipe-viewer, it throttles it down to under 100 kbps. Is this a known issue, or something I can change in the config file somewhere? I don't have the issue playing videos, only downloading them, and wget behaves the same way iff it is set to download via it in the config file
