I sometimes download youtube videos with cc subtitles but i can't download the subtitles. It just downloads the video without the subtitles. Does anyone know how to download youtube videos with the cc subtitles?

It's a command line tool. Use jDownloader from the other comment if you don't want to deal with that. The README gives all the options. Subtitle options here.
Get the latest release from the releases section i.e. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2025.01.15, "yt-dlp_win.zip" and unzip it to some folder.
Open a command prompt (Win+X, Powershell or Win+R, cmd if you prefer)
cd to the folder where you unzipped yt-dlp.exe
Now you type yt-dlp (your options) (video url).
So for example
Should give you Freeman's Mind episode 1 with english subtitles saved to a "webvtt" file. (you can only extract whatever subtitle formats and languages are available)
