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.

This is the website that I sometimes use if I want to get a video from BitChute. https://www.tubeoffline.com/download-BitChute-videos.php

However, judging from their lack of funding, there's no telling if this service will stay alive for much longer.

I don't know much about torrenting either. However, there is supposed to be this thing like a checksum or hash or something, where you run an algorithm on the file you torrented, and it will give you a long string. The idea is that you can check this generated string against the string that a trusted source has. For an example of this, you can try torrenting an Ubuntu ISO. They should have a checksum so that you can verify that the file you torrented is the correct one.

That is the site I use, I did see a message on the site the other day about having to replace the server and not all the video sites would work, but bitchute was still one that did work. Glad I came here though, learned something new about the magnet links.

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'.

Use an add-on named Video Download Helper for Firefox (Use Waterfox instead).

When I went to the site, its for firefox and there isn't a download button, where it would normally be instead just tries to download firefox instead. Is there an alternate place to download other than the firefox ad on page? Or do I need to do it through firefox then somehow get it on my real browser?

It is an add-on for Firefox. Waterfox is a fork of Firefox without all of the crap.

There is a Chrome version, but I don't use Chrome. I'm sure it is the same.

Those are the only browsers supported.

You can install Waterfox, install the add-on and only use it to download Bitchute videos.

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.
