Downloader tips from testing
Download on Wi-Fi when files are large; the app can prefer Wi-Fi for big transfers. Keep the phone awake during very large downloads or exempt Lookr from battery optimization so Android does not kill the background service mid-file. If a download stalls, see download failure fixes. And a copyright note: only download videos you have the right to save.
