This is not a bug in Parabolic. YouTube has detected your connection as suspicious and is requiring authentication before allowing the download. This can happen if your IP address has been flagged due to high request volume or a shared IP.

To fix this, provide Parabolic with your browser cookies so it can authenticate as you. Once authenticated, YouTube will recognize you as a real user and the download should proceed normally.

I would however recommend only enabling cookie authentication when necessary rather than keeping it permanently enabled, as overusing it could potentially draw unwanted attention to your account.
