My Name Is Metaknightsrevenge and I have yet to see any problems with the program it kicks.
I used to love this add-on. Ever since I switched to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.5 I've had nothing but problems. Youtube freezes ALL the time. Download helper does not display quality levels anymore (18, 35, 22, etc.) And there's pretty much no information on how to correct this.
I would have rated it a 10 before... I down to like a 2.
Works like a wonder. I tried many non-free products and none worked as well as this one. Before paying for a similar product go ahead and install DownloadHelper!!
Download helper is a great addon, i like it, but it has one bad thing.... it prevents to load the youtube links. For example if i'm watching one video in youtube and going to open another link, sometimes, you can't load the link (go to new video page). It always says loading... but never goes to the page. It is frustrating.
I don't know why it happens. But it is a fact. I tested it on 5 different systems.
I recommend this product to all of my friends. An absolute must have for anyone who surfs the web.
Sorry, I posted wrong topic
I love this product. It is so easy to use and I would recommend it to all my friends.
It is not clear what exactly mnc54 mean by "doesn't run CCleaner any more",
very strange. I use options by default and can tell you that for me all running fine:
My External Application Options is:
Command: C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe
Arguments: /auto
don't even have to enter these parameters manually, everything is done automatically,
as Click&Clean will automatically determine where CCleaner is installed and sets
the installation path accordingly, wow!
This is such a great add-on I would make a donation to support it if I could afford to. Instead I will just write this review in support of it. Not only is this more convenient then using a web based tube-downloader, it also works great for batch downloading images and other media files. If you find yourself in a gallery or list of images rather than click through and download each individually you can just choose the "download all links to media files" option. This is a great tool.
Great add-on!
I really wanted to save this video message someone sent me on Facebook and after trying 3 other add-ons (which would only save if it was not a video message) this one finally worked.
Definitely recommended!
really useful
Wonderful plug-in!
Congrats to the dev's.
Would you consider adding a function to download multiple MP3's? For instance a broadcast that is split up into multiple tracks?
Wonderful plug-in. Thanks for the development guys!
Awsome tool always works for me
Great piece of software. Keep up the good work.
bad business!!! there are other free video converters when we have 2 pay 4 the converter in this so called free add-on. .MAKE EVERYTHING IN IT FREE.
Just wanna say that VideoDownloadHelper's icon is similar with Google Pack's Icon....
I think this gadget is phoning home !!
my cross-site watchdog says it is preventing a call from youtube.com to downloadhelper.net!!
do they store my download and visit history or what?
on another turn, can it already catch myspace streaming audio?
It does not do anything evil if this is your question.
But for instance, if you request the 'Tweet this video' service from within the youtube widget (the drop down menu inserted into the youtube pages), the extension calls the downloadhelper.net server in order to generate a short URL for the page. This is typically a cross-domain access that will probably be caught as a warning by your tool.
I think it is a super download tool. The download times given by programme are usually a long way off and download times slow, I am not complaining though as is a very good tool to have. I have donated some money. Intend to donate some more.
i find it great!! still using it. every single day.
I need it to donwload videos on many video websites. Thanks for sharing this great addon.
I was trying to make a donation to download helper but, unfortunately, it only works through Paypal and I refuse to use them due to their shitty customer services. Excellent add-on by the way.
Seems to work ok, still playing with it..
This extension is good in theory, but not in practice. I don't like thinking that I will be able to download something for 30 seconds but only have it go away. And what it detects is not the video. It is only the name of the page that you can download and that's it.
I don't want such a bad extension on my system. Especially one this frustrating that can't even detect video. You would think with video in the title it might be able to do what it claims and detect video. Since it works so badly, I'm guessing it's probably the problem I've been having with firefox not working correctly lately, come to think of it, since I installed this.
Wish I could give this one a negative 5 sadly I had to give it a 1.
I hope the other few millions users who haven't had any problem with DownloadHelper for a couple of years won't be too disappointed to learn that this add-on finally does not work :)
More seriously, your problem, that you did not really describe, is probably not related to DownloadHelper, and your remark "And what it detects is not the video. It is only the name of the page that you can download and that's it." shows that you did not understand much.
Anyway, you should have contacted our support rather than passing your frustration here.
Great add-on!! it allways works fine! :D
You can download almost everything!
Do you gonna make a version for Chrome? I also use that browser. Thanks!
