If you click on the link above (the fourth bullet-point option below Key Features) the webpage comes up RED in WOT (Firefox) - so it fails the website safety check. They have one clean site that is OK while their other site comes up as being a v poor place for surfing safety - not a good sign. I'll avoid this one.

It's handy to download videos if just to watch using your own software rather than the streaming software the site provides. But there's so much out there that works for YouTube, including a lot of Mozilla plug-ins, that a separate program isn't necessary. I tend to favor NetVideoHunter although it doesn't allow for the multiple formats. For those using IE it appears to be a useful program but those using Mozilla have other choices.

Although this program appears to be designed to work outside of a browser and allow searching through it's own search engine. However, it's list is limited to 1000 entries so one has to have some idea of what they're looking for first. There are also many multi-part videos on YouTube but this program doesn't appear to find other segments. In both cases using the browser is often easier.

This program will work for YouTube and those sites that allow stream recording. It's those non-YouTube sites that are difficult to work with and for what people want a stream recorder. In those cases a screen recorder is about the only thing that works.

It should also be noted that the program lists porn sites so those with kids need to be careful. Some way to disable or block these sites would be useful.

Hi! I have downloaded this to my Windows 7 32 computer and it seems to have installed and be working ok, however, I am unable to change the save to directories. Unless I have missed some vital piece of information, we are given the option to change the save to download destination and the save to converted files destination. I am unable to save a new destination, the installed ones will not change even after I have clicked on save new destination folder. Would appreciate any help. Thanks to all the companies who allow us to dl their sw for free, and BIG thanks to GAOTD, great job!

y'know, i know i sound cynical, but it's so obvious when the dev's friends are posting. their english isn't so great. their comments are poorly written, and they're always fluffy and soft. you're used to reading honest, detailed posts that ask relevant questions or deal w/the app's limitations, and then you step in something totally out of context and fanboy, like, "wow, i am sure glad my friend told me to get this. it is the best program ever. come and try it!" please curb the starry-eyed enthusiasm and let the forum be about improving the software. for one, here's my idea: devs, please tell your people not to post to the GOTD forum, looks bad for you.

As commented by Patrick McNamara (# 21) "...the program lists porn sites..." maybe that could be seen as an incentive to download and install this program, since it costs 40 bucks and does not do more than the freeware which is readily available on the Internet.

Jokes apart, with reference to the matter of kids using computers I would recommend any diligent parent to purchase and install the proper software to restrict access and manage permissions if their kids are using their computers: One cannot rely on "YouTube Downloader Suite" to take care of that.

It would be like taking a teacup of water out of the ocean... If you see what I mean.
