A module for downloading ffmpeg binaries.

For all the time my YTM-DLP project existed I’ve been using ffbinaries module to download ffmpeg binaries.

It works great, without problems downloading needed binaries, but it has one issue. It uses request module which has been deprecated as of 2020.

At first I thought that the original developer would update the module to utilize different module, but I realised that it’ll probably never happen, since the last commit was made over half a year ago, so the project has been probably abandoned.

So after this fact has bothered me for enough time I’ve decided to rewrite the module to use something different from request and after several hours I’ve made it use axios instead.

So, if any would ever need to download ffmpeg through NodeJS here’s the link to a module that does it.
