SEO guide
Fix downloads stuck on processing — job timeouts, large files, and when to retry on PasteGrab.
Overview
Long clips and Best quality jobs take longer — the job page shows live progress. True stalls may be CDN or upstream host slowness.
Refresh the job page before canceling — SSE progress reconnects. If stuck beyond 10 minutes on a short clip, cancel and retry with 720p.
Peak traffic can queue jobs — owners with Studio see queue position.
