⚠️ Smart Memory Management for Video Downloads

When download_videos is enabled, this Actor uses intelligent resource allocation powered by our specialized Universal File Downloader to optimize memory usage and prevent failures. The Actor automatically analyzes each video's file size and dynamically allocates the optimal amount of memory needed for successful downloads.

✅ How It Works

Dynamic Resource Calculation: The Actor examines each video file before downloading and calculates the exact memory requirements based on file size, ensuring efficient resource usage without waste.

Automatic Memory Scaling: Memory allocation automatically scales from 128MB for small videos up to 32GB for very large files, preventing both resource waste and Out-Of-Memory errors.

Intelligent Timeout Management: Download timeouts are calculated based on file size and estimated connection speed, ensuring downloads complete successfully without unnecessary waiting.

Enterprise-Grade Download Engine: Powered by our Universal File Downloader Actor, which provides advanced proxy support, retry mechanisms, and streaming technology for reliable downloads of any size.

💡 Benefits for Users

• No Manual Configuration: You don't need to guess or manually set memory requirements
• Prevents Failures: Eliminates OOM crashes that could interrupt your downloads
• Cost Efficient: Optimizes resource usage to minimize unnecessary costs
• Handles Any Size: From short clips to multi-hour recordings, all processed reliably
• Batch Processing: Each video gets its own optimized resource allocation
• Enterprise Reliability: Advanced error handling and automatic retry mechanisms
• Proxy Support: Built-in proxy rotation for improved download success rates
