Rated 5 out of 5

It works on youtube and most websites that host video clips, and it seems to be able to handle any size file as long as you have the space for it.
Cons: There are a couple of specially protected video formats that this seems to be unable to download, and it doesn't work with the big, paid streaming sites like Netflix or HBO (not that I expected it to).
It also requires the browser to be open while it downloads, so downloads will fail if you close the browser, but, since it's a browser add-on, this is to be expected.
Overall: I've been using it for over a year, and I highly recommend it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by AMP, 3 days agoThis browser add on makes it easy to download videos. The only reason I didn't give it a 5th star is that there are times when it won't download a video and there is no error information to assist in determining corrective actions.
