yotube videos downloading

[irneb]

There are literally hundreds of download managers you could try. The one I'm using is FDM (Free Download Manager), I can't see that IDM's "extra" features (which I can't see any differences except for the YouTube "grabber") is worth the $25.

AFAICT using FDM with DownloadHelper gives you all the features of IDM and then some, e.g the choice of FLV download / Video Convert on the fly in FDM. And they're both "free".

If you have still not come right you can look at Moyea. It will scan all the pages you visit and if it finds a .flv it will let you know. You can then decide if you want to download. The best is to keep it inactive because nowadays there are .flv adverts on nearly all pages. When you want to use it you just click on it and it will search the page and ask what you want to keep.

I re-read your post earlier msmoorad, just one thing there. IDM can only resume a download if the host site allows it. I have full IDM but if the host does not allow it I cannot pause my download and resume later. I also have megaupload downloader but that only works to download from mega sites. I can however pause any download from their sites and resume when it suites me, even a week or month later.
