So if you want to watch the complete version, you can only watch the YouTube version, but due to recent poor network conditions, it’s better to download and watch at your own pace.
After deciding to download, I first searched for some online download tools with keywords like “YouTube playlist download,” but none worked well.
Then I looked for command-line download tools, tried the relatively famous you-get and youtube-dl, and finally found that yt-dlp (which is based on youtube-dl) works better. However, the command-line usage is quite complicated, so I had a sudden idea — why not let Bing GPT write a script for me!
Write a piece of code using yt-dlp to download https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWFKEqUUprKg2le6kvngoNGF3TlWzXlyh in mp4 format, with filenames prefixed by the download order number.
The reply was as follows 
Below is the code to download https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWFKEqUUprKg2le6kvngoNGF3TlWzXlyh in mp4 format using yt-dlp, with filenames prefixed by download order number:
import os
# Replace the playlist URL with your own
playlist_url = "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWFKEqUUprKg2le6kvngoNGF3TlWzXlyh"
# Download the playlist
os.system(f"yt-dlp -f 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best' --yes-playlist --playlist-start 1 --output '%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s' {playlist_url}")
Please make sure you have yt-dlp installed. Also, if you are using Windows, save the above code as a .py file and run it in the command prompt. If you are using Linux or MacOS, save it as a .sh file and run it in the terminal.
Hope this helps!
Conclusion
Problem perfectly solved!
