This. YoutubeDL has still not updated it's releases, even though it works now, and yt-dlp is more frequently updated in general. |

Replacing the included youtube-dl.exe with a renamed yt-dlp.exe made everything work as expected again and download fast. Based on this, this PR should fix the issue across all platforms with minimal changes, mostly comsetic (youtube-dl -> yt-dlp).
I modified the package stuff to include these as well, although I'm not sure why the python script is saved as a .zip. I also checked and there is a brew package for yt-dlp, so I swapped that as well.
Should fix #67 and #61, although I don't have a build environment set up for this to test it.
