Nah, just use yt-dlp. Harder to use, but much less sketchy, and no limitations. It's got half a billion settings but it's not hard to look up the exact commands you want, and it supports premade configurations so you only have to actually set it up one time.
In Windows if you put ffmpeg.exe in the same folder it'll merge the best video and audio together so you can get any size for any video. Linux already has ffmpeg.
They don't distribute ffmpeg.exe with yt-dlp because of patents I guess.
Also get phantomjs.exe to bypass youtube download rate limit. It's kind of annoying to get these extra programs but you only have to do it once. Instructions are in the yt-dlp guide.

Can you download 1080 versions?
You can get any version YT has uploaded. If you just pop in a video without specifying, it'll get the best version it can find.
