Don't get an irrational fear of torrents. No file can get automatically downloaded without your permission, even if you connect to other people's computers. They can't send you unwanted shit because if they do your client will reject it since that data won't match the signature (hash) of the files you're trying to download.

That said, Bitchute doesn't use regular torrents. It uses Webtorrents and you can't use regular torrent clients (like qBittorrent) to download them. Support for webtorrents will take a while (years) to get implemented in most applications. The Brave browser supports them.

WebTorrents are just torrents with WebRtc cancer. Don't support or use that shit. You have no control over what WebRtc does on your computer. It was designed to facilitate screensharing, audio sharing, etc. It can see your desktop, it can hear your system audio, etc. You can't control it.

Even a proxy won't help you, because WebRtc includes its own routing/discovery layer. It sends its own STUN requests to kick off its own routing chain. Most of its traffic won't show up in the network tab of your browser. It was designed to prevent a proxy form protecting your identity.

Don't use WebRtc. Don't use WebTorrents. Don't use Brace. Don't use Bitchute.

Don't use bitchute. It's another feckless advocate for WebRTC. They don't use real, safe torrents. They use a bitched-up abomination called "WebTorrents", that exposes you to WebRTC.

WebRTC is run by Google, Microsoft, and their ilk, to prevent privacy an anonymity. WebRtc exposes your desktop to other clients and servers, and it de-anonymize you even behind a proxy.

Again: Your proxy is useless if you use WebRtc, which is what WebTorrents are, which is what Bitchute is.

I've never tried it, but I've noticed there's a magnet link button in the rightmost portion of the bar directly below the video.
Alternatively, I've seen direct download links posted in the form of "https ://seed41.bitchute.com/JWa8508PdoWK/7xqSbHGgKM0e.mp4", which can be found if you open "View Page Source" and search for 'seed'.

I've asked the Bitchute account this question multiple times in the past and it has been met with silence. I hope you have more success.

Edit: To be clear, I presume he believes the torrent magnet to be adequate, but I've only successfully downloaded a few videos over a long period of time due to whatever technical reason not readily apparent in my route.

Bitchute doesn't use real torrents. It uses "WebTorrents" - a technology that allows streams to go on and off the torrents protocol, and use the WebRtc protocol when available.

Don't support or use that shit. You have no control over what WebRtc does on your computer. It was designed to facilitate screensharing, audio sharing, etc. It can see your desktop, it can hear your system audio, etc. You can't control it.

Even a proxy won't help you, because WebRtc includes its own routing/discovery layer. It sends its own STUN requests to kick off its own routing chain. Most of its traffic won't show up in the network tab of your browser. It was designed to prevent a proxy form protecting your identity.

Don't use WebRtc. Don't use WebTorrents. Don't use Brace. Don't use Bitchute.

if you're on windows and afraid of the command line you can use youtube-dl-gui to get vids from various sites.
