Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a good year.

I started u/savevideo and redditsave.com two years ago with the aim of helping reddit users to save videos from reddit. I didn't know it would get popular so soon.

When I first created the website, I used the domain name redditsave.com, but I always had the intention of changing it to something that wouldn't infringe on Reddit's trademark.
I found rapidsave.com to be the closest thing but it was owned by someone else. I was able to purchase the rapidsave.com domain in February 2022 and had it in mind to switch.

Starting today, redditsave.com is now known as rapidsave.com, a

The bot (u/savevideo) got suspended 2 days ago for "harassment".

Thanks to everyone who showed concern and the reddit staff for restoring the bot.

The second supporting bot (u/savevideobot) is still banned. I hope it gets free soon.

You can continue downloading as usual. The website https://redditsave.com can also be used directly.

Edit: u/savevideobot is back too.

PS: For feedback and suggestions please message the creator directly u/kryptonh.

The bot has been working at a very low capacity for the past 2 days.

It is having a hard time replying to comments due to some unusual issues with reddit's api ratelimits.

I always get an error 'RATELIMIT: "Looks like you've been doing that a lot. Take a break for x minutes before trying again." on field 'ratelimit'
Even after waiting, it does not work. The error persists.
This problem is not peculiar to u/savevideo. There have been complaints from other reddit users aswell. [links below]

I tried running the bot from my PC with local ISP but that does not help either after a few replies.

In the mean time, please use the website directly [https://redditsave.com](https://redditsav

Not sure why I can't crosspost. Original post here

As you might know, I posted an update yesterday about shutting down the services.

Reddit has confirmed to me that the notice did not originate from them.

With that being said, I have restored all the bot/website's services back to normal.

The story

Apparently, a third-party with malicious intent impersonated Reddit and issued a fake take-down notice to my hosting provider.

The story

Apparently, a third-party with malicious intent impersonated Reddit and issued a fake take-down notice to my hosting provider.

Citing a list of violations, the fake take-down notice instructed that I take down my services within 3-4 days or face a lawsuit. It also threatened $1M USD compensation for bandwidth consumption.
