How do I cancel yt-dlp in progress?
I changed my mind about downloading and it's downloading in front of my eyes, how do I stop it with terminal commands? Thanks in advance.

Ah! I mistakenly thought you were downloading yt-dlp itself which you probably would have started in a browser... sorry.
I have no actual familiarity with yt-dlp but I imagine it would respond to Ctrl-C in the terminal where it is running if all else fails. You might try pressing ESC a few times first, I vaguely recall yt-dl used to respond to that. If those don't work, open a new terminal and try... Code:
kill pidof yt-dlp Otherwise, it looks to be well documented, so begin reading. |
You can cancel a CLI command by hitting CTRL+c.

see the man page, it has a huge amount of options to configure it. Using kill -9 will does not allow to do a cleanup, so if you stop your process with it there can be some wasted files somewhere. |
