I use Jdownloader2, the desktop app. I simply copy the video URL ( for example) and it grabs the video file from the clipboard. It's then available to download like any other file. You need to change your VPN server for each individual file and it downloads very quickly (I average 15-25 mb/s). It really couldn't be simpler and I don't have any kind of account with Recurbate.
The url has to be dug up from the plugin's log file but it won't be any use for anyone else. The recurbate plugin scrapes the page and builds the download with all the required metadata for it to actually work.
