Video Download Helper (for Firefox 3.5)
Firefox Add-on
First of all, A very Happy Independence Day for all the Indian Folks... :)... Proud to be an Indian ... Yay us.. :)
Now... gettin to the topic..
So, i jus had some problems with the GETGO download manager while i was downloading videos, and i badly needed FLASHGET for SOME situations (ill tell you why i need Flashget for somesituations)... Video Download Helper is very similar to Flashget.
Now getgo is a really cool video download utility, but ... Let me tell you a situation..
You know what you want, cos youve already seen the video, so u just go the page, click download and there u have it, the video is on its way to your hard disk. But it takes time for the video to download. Now in this case you can use both getgo and the firefox addons.
Consider this case..
You're watching a five minute video for the first time and you love it and you want it on your hard disk, now
(i) If u use get go the download will start from the beginning and itll take the normal time needed to download a five minute video..
(ii) Using a firefox addon.?.. Since the video has already been loaded in the browser.. the download gets over in a jiffy..!!... two seconds and there u have it ..!! can be pretty useful right.. try it out...:)
"Video download helper" is a firefox add-on tool, meaning you dont have to install this as a seperate software in your pc, it combines itself with the firefox so when you uninstall firefox u automatically uninstall the add-on too. Now lets get to the advantages of this tool.
I'm a big fan of firefox, especially due to the level of customizations that you can do on it to suit yourself and your needs. This software has just become a new addition to my firefox addons. (although i need to specify here from personal experiences, that using too many add-ons and themes in your firefox can slow it down). Im using the latest version of firefox, Firefox 3.5 and i couldnt find the usual video download tool i used to have. The "Flashget", now this is a wonderful software as well, although that is not our concern here right now...

Getgo has really impressed me a lot, it provides fast downloads, its light weight, and it doesnt have any bugs and the most important thing about it (as a freeware) is that it does not have any ads on it as in the case of Download Accelerator and Flashget which are considered to be one of the leading download managers out there now, so is Orbit. But then, there is this real cool feature for all you YOUTUBE fans out there, Getgo integrates with your browser, internet explorer or firefox, and you can download videos with a click of a button, thats al that is needed, an icon appears to the right of the video and u can jus download it. ill show u an example right here..i dunno if u can see it ... but here is a red word saying HERE jus top right corner of the video .. and next to it is the DOWNLOAD THIS VIDEO link ... click this and your on your way to downloading the video... :)... simple isnt it.. .
I still havent explored this software a lot. But one fact i didnt like about it as i was using it was the fact that it does not ask for the location in which the data is to be stored nor does it ask whether we require to change the file name before saving. So if we require to change the location to be stored then we either have to change the location using the options menu and if we require to change the file name we need to do it after the download is complete. Plus, the interface is really good, the filetypes are colourcoded. Refer the Screen shots to know what i mean...
It comes with a ASK search bar. So searching for files becomes easy although this is not required much. It integrates with your browser easily. Its fast. Guess that oughta do it for a good download manager. And the Video downloading option is really good. I'd rate it 9 outta 10... :)..
Give it a GO..!! :)
