I didn't suffer of that but you could try an alternate download command. From the help dl-command:
Use set download_command <command> to specify a custom command to use for
downloading.
mps-youtube will make the following substitutions:
%u - url of the remote file to download
%d - download directory as set in DDIR in mps-youtube config
%f - filename (determined by title and filetype)
%F - full file path (%d/%f)
%i - youtube video id
for example, to download using aria2c (http://aria2.sourceforge.net), enter:
set download_command aria2c --dir=%d --out=%f %u
Note that using a custom download command does not support transcoding the
downloaded file to another format using mps-youtube.
So you could try curl, wget, whatever, and check if that makes a difference.
Also, the note make me wonder: maybe the slowness come from the transcoding rather than the download?

> Didier, I already use mpsyt and youtube-viewer. My main gripe with mpsyt is that the download speeds are horrendously slow, I'm talking 120 kb/s max, whereas with youtube-viewer it is using my connection's full speed. Is there a setting to get mpsyt to download as fast as possible?
