Supported Sites List: (More sites may be supported, only english sites listed here. Adult sites not listed. 2016-November-13 original post: Please add 'YTD Video Downloader' to your list of tools 'To be reviewed'. 2017-March-6 edit: I've been using the free version of YTD Video Downloader (see Note 1) for a few years. The following sentence is superseded by newer edit below: I just installed it on a new machine and did not encounter any optional extras that I'd have to avoid installing (see Note 2). The program routinely provides updates, which seem to keep up with changes made by YouTube; after installing the program, I ran it and it immediately offered an update to a newer version. The program's Help-About screen says that it's a product of GreenTree Applications SRL, and gives the following URL (see Note 2), which is the only source from which I have downloaded it: www.ytddownloader.com 2017-September-30 edit: The update for which I was prompted included offers for THREE unwanted programs, AND took me to an advertisement on its website.

*Note 1: There is a different, fee-based program with an _extremely_ similar name. *Note 2: Other than the URL above, GreenTree operates at least two other sites on which it offers this product; and on those sites the comparison between free and paid versions says that there may be 'installer offers' in the free version. The comparison page from the URL above has no mention of the possibility of 'installer offers' and I have encountered no such offers by downloading from that URL. • or to post comments. I can't see a top recommendation here (or even a top three) - and my attempts to find one using 'Quick Selection Guide' merely recycle this page. Also, the reason that most of us turn to Gizmo is to identify software which is free of viruses, bloatware, malware, PUP's, adware, ransomware and the rest of that swelling poison caboodle. It we want to spend a couple of hours having to scour our computer after every download, we can simply turn to CNET, Filehippo, Softonic and a dozen other sites.

What shame, then, to find software highlighted on this page, time and again, which is known to be riddled with hidden nasties. Please, fellow readers, carry out further checks before you choose any of these.

Please help me - I had freemaker (well the converter still works but downloading ceased a while ago); so I switched to free download manager which seemed to work most of the time but now refuses to download anything saying I'm 'not authorized' for some reason; so I've now downloaded ClipGrab but for some reason when I attempted to download something, it just sits there doing nothing. HOW can I get it to download or do anything??? Or what do you really recommend?; & how does it operate??? • or to post comments. The Best FREE Video Downloader for Mac OS X (And I believe for Windows and Linux Too) is the 4K Video Downloader ( ).

The Free Version is totally useable: you may use it to download a video file from ANY Site. (The Only feature the Pro version has, that the free version does not, is the ability to download a whole playlist - with a single click - IF the playlist has more than 24 movies in it. If a Playlist has 24 or less movies you CAN download them ALL - in one click - with either version.

VSO Downloader was the one I always recommended to friends but -- and it's suddenly a big 'but' --I'm wondering if in the urge to monetize this software, the developers are now being waaaay too deceitful? VSO has worked fine for me until tonight, when it suddenly stopped all three YouTube downloads at the 50% mark... And reported that they would only be completed if I bought the 'Ultimate' version. This makes a nonsense of the claim that VSO Downloader is freeware. Either it is. The developer is plainly trying to finesse that, because its website is nowadays noticeably coy about maximum file sizes downloaded in video streams, which was never the case before.

In a nutshell: there seems no justification for continuing to publicise VSO Downloader in any freeware list now that it has become -- and very explicitly, too -- trialware / crippleware. There's absolutely no point in downloading and using a 'free' product which downloads only half a file, and when you open its screen to see what's happening, it reports that you're using a TRIAL version and that if you want more than 50% of what you were expecting, then pay for it. As noted: I have no objection to developers seeking to monetize their work. I do, however, have every objection to developers who try to pull this sort of stunt yet at the same time piously insist that oh my yes, their software is truly free and genuinely unrestricted, rather than being trialware or crippleware. (NB: VSO Downloader halted my downloads at 1 Mb, 1.2 Mb and 1.6Mb: it's not as if some ultimately huge download was in play here...) • or to post comments. A bit late but perhaps other people are reading this section too - The free version of VSO is still freeware but only for certain types of streaming; RTMP streams require the licensed version so I'd guess that the inability to fully download some Youtube streams is due to some of the changes that Youtube has made over the last year or so. I'd imagine that VSO will still work fully for some YT streams as the site seems to be a bit of a mixture.

In VSO's defence, this limitation of the free version is explained clearly on their website and it's not uncommon for vendors to include demos of licensed features in freeware versions. • or to post comments. I appreciate your concern and criticism Lektor, the fact is that am doing 3 things at once. I'm preparing for my PG Course, doing a Job, and volunteer at Gizmo's. I'm currently managing 5 categories: BF Web Browser, Media Player, PC Games, File Manager, Search Engine. Added to that I'm also managing Free Game of the Week series.

I've stepped down from Firefox extension of the Week series, due to time limitations. Currently am preparing a major update for BF PC Games section which should be ready by the middle of this month, which is why I didn't get enough time to edit this article. Whenever I do updates, I love to be as comprehensive as possible.

Usually I do one major update in a year per article and few minor updates occasionally. If you see, there are plenty of categories here without editors, and most of the new editors that comes in, doesn't do anything significant [mind you, this doesn't apply to all, there are some new editors that have done impressive work here], so the team relies on the present editors to manage more categories. If there are more editors willing to come up and volunteer for significant changes or even just managing an article, the team would be more than glad, and I'd be happy to step down as the editor of this category. Moreover, for every new category that an editor takes up, he needs some time to learn various things, and added to that especially with this one, being a new category an editor will have to start from scratch, rather than just making updates to an already reviewed category. • or to post comments.
