- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13802317, 8 years agoVery frustrating. Used to work flawlessly but now seems like updates make extremely confusing. Maybe I'm just stupid but is no longer simple and worthwhile. Not sure why or what you did but it really sucks now.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Scott Merrill, 8 years agoAfter using many other video download add-ons, I think I enjoy this one's the best for it's sheer simplicity. A couple of minor tweaks would make this an app I would gladly pay for:
1) sometimes the downloads get "stuck". There is an option to reload the extension, which does fix the problem. It also deletes the existing download. Would be nice to have the existing download just "pick up", similar to how Firefox automatically restores your crashed pages.
2) the user interface can seem complicated for a non-geek, I would imagine. Perhaps simplify it a bit (maybe allow people to choose "advanced options" if they want, but keep the basics...basic.
3) a "sort-by" option would be a God-send. When downloading 50 files at a time, I would love to be able to sort by percentage completed, or total file size, or whatever. This is my most-desired request.
I probably can come up with about a dozen other useful tweaks I think that would make this the most amazing downloader ever, if you want to hear them.
All in all, I'd rate this a 4 out of 5, based on the issues above. If those were fixed and/or added, I would give this 5 stars ALL day long - good job on a great free add-on! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13801775, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by MD, 8 years agoUpdated Review June 1, 2020. In 2018 I wrote: "I have used VDH for years and found it to be the best for most videos and websites. It is also the easiest to use." New Review 3-7-25: Obviously many video sites were trying to write unbreakable code and I was sad to lose VDH but suddenly it is back and working better than ever. Best program ever made. Thank you VDH for succeeding. Thank you VDH for being free. Much appreciation!!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12800724, 8 years agoUses a lot of RAM and CPU, but successfully downloaded more than 2000 videos for me. The settings "HLS as M2TS" prevents frozen video once per second on ARTE - excellent!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13444753, 8 years agoHonestly, haven't had many problems with this add-on since the beginning. Quite easy to figure out and use, most of the videos I downloaded are A-OK.
Though one thing I'd like fixed is is the error message when I cancel a download.
