[March 25, 2023] v.5.1 High Speed Edition

Significant increase in download speed for large videos (thanks to Dharam for help)

the zip also has a file YouTubeDownloaderHD.ini. so if you blindly unzip, you will lose your 'settings'.

the ini file has a entry AutoCheckUpdates=1 . you may want to set it to zero (manually). not sure how you get to settings from the UI.

Hi,
I use the portable version.
1) Please do not include the fileYouTubeDownloaderHD.ini in the zip. If the user blindly unzipsthe file, he loses the original ini file (and the settings).
I would suggest the program check if the file already exists, if it does not exist then create the default ini file (similar to the one now included in the zip).
2) I noticed AutoCheckUpdates=1 in the inifile. How do I set it to 0 ? I cannot find a settings icon inthe UI.

Hi,
Thanks for feedback!
1. Ok, I updated the portable version.
2. I don’t want to overload GUI with a bunch of options. So you can change ini file with any text editor.

Is anybody else getting what looks like Arabic language when launching the installer? I don't want to click on any buttons because I have no idea what they mean.

Several other audio extraction tools I used to rely upon failed on me, but this one worked great. I got exactly the format I was hoping for (Opus) and it downloaded very fast. Wonderfully simple and easy.

This program worked first time (Windows 7 64bit). A small sized application, compared to some of the others on Portable Freeware, I found that it has the essential functions that are required to find and download videos.
Choice of available download quality.
User can set (try right click on the download directory shown in blue).
Quick download of videos in the queued list.

__philippe on 2019-01-11 13:01

YoutubePal v3.4 (released SEP-2016) is broken for recent Youtube videos.

Attempts to download recent videos invariably fails with error message
"Could not parse the Youtube page for URL
- May be due to change of Youtube page structure"

YTP's Author Ravi Bhvnani is aware of the issue, which should be rectified
in next release, tentatively scheduled for February.

Never repaired, If anyone is aware of a fix, please post.
Nothing else was this small and current, sadly

Free Download Manager v3.9.7 build 1641

billon on 13 Dec 2018
  • 17MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 14 Nov 2018
  • Suggested by Sydney2K

Free Download Manager (FDM) is a feature-rich tool for handling and accelerating downloads. Includes a site explorer, offline website downloader, scheduler, video downloader (YouTube, Google Video etc.), BitTorrent support and more. An included media file preview prevents downloading mislabeled music or video while a ZIP file preview tool saves download time and bandwidth by selectively removing unneeded parts. A hash check capability can verify downloads and the program can be controlled remotely over the Internet (fdmwi.exe).

Especially useful to overcome unreliable/slow connections that require frequent download restarts, when bandwidth is at a premium, or for very large files.

Alternatively, Free Download Manager Portable is available, as well as a "lite" version, which has not been tested for portability.

NOTE: The program will now prompt for upgrade to the newest version on startup, which is not portable (thanks Joby) and uses a closed-source license.

Love this program particularly for infrequent or bad internet connections. Helps restart, resume, and find the best connections for downloads. I also use it for the occasional Linux or other big file distribution torrent.
