Ignore my rating it was for V1.9 which I'm happy to say has been removed from the previous versions download list along with a few other problem versions. While I'd appreciate a properly working version of this gui, I haven't tried the new updated versions yet until I'm sure the problem has been truly fixed and proper corrective measures put in place to prevent a repeat.
@xplorr ref your comment #9
Your description of the problem as "a corrupt youtube-dl file" is much too generous. There was a virus which appears to use a Script among other things to delete all DLL files in the program directory including anti virus programs, it usurps your internet browser and crashes the system to complete the task of deleting and corrupting new installs. I manually stopped suspected programs from loading, renamed and deleted a few questionable files and finally had to run a disc boot version of Avast which removed the remaining hidden self propagating versions of the virus which were preventing re-installing new virus checkers and other software. That does not repair the damage though. Good thing I had a backup copy of the full program directory which was only a few weeks old and was able to easily copy the files back.
Whoever did this may try again so it makes one wonder how such a virus got past the program testing through 3 or 4 versions before being posted for download at VH and only a few users caught it with V1.9, 1.10 and 1.11 in the past week or so?
Does your gui use scripts to run adware or does youtube-dl do that? If either program does that then this program should be listed as adware supported. If this is this case I would also suggest ads be restricted to within the program gui and not sent to the user's browser something which I find highly invasive by those programs that do it.
