The Token Mismatch Problem

When you paste a link, SaveMedia generates a temporary security token. If your browser's persistent cookies are trying to use an *old* token from an hour ago, the social platform (YouTube, FB, etc.) will reject the request. Clearing cookies forces a fresh, valid token generation.

Incognito: The Testing Ground

If you're not sure if cookies are the problem, open an Incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N). This starts you with a completely clean slate. If the download works there, you know you need to clear your main browser cookies.

Conclusion: Refresh Your Presence

A clean browser is a fast browser. By managing your cookies, you eliminate the single most common cause of 'ghost' errors in web apps. Get back to smooth downloading on SaveMedia.
