what is the best software for downloading youtube videos

I tried 'You tube downloader' YTD but it was full of crapware or are they all like that?

thanks

Perhaps you can choose not to install the 'junkware' that comes with it.

There is the option to not install Yahoo junkware and to let it take over your Home page. Perhaps you should actually read before agreeing to install the additional software.

I always found YTD to be a decent bit of software but as the previous poster said you have to ensure you don't accept the third party software when installing it.

Another good one is Freemake Downloader but again you need to ensure you don't accept the third party software included in the installer.

If you are not very good at spotting the third party offers when installing programs you might consider installing a small free program called "Unchecky". A google search will find both that and the Freemake video downloader.

If you use Firefox as your browser, Flashgot is good. You just need to be careful to choose the best download link from the list provided for each video otherwise it'll download the lot and you'll end up with a dozen different versions.

I wonder if your Coopdivi id will make any sense next year given the £2Bn+ hole in the finances

JDownloader2 will work and give a list of all the different resolutions available. Although still in beta it works well.

You dont need software

Add ss to the address of the youtube video and it takes you to option to download the file

so https://www.youtube.com/videoclip would be

https://www.ssyoutube.com/videoclip

Or just press the download button if you are using Youtube on a mobile device.

If you use Firefox, there's a plugin called DownloadHelper:

It has always worked for me and is dead handy.
