Dragonfire Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Youtube is nice and now its owned by google. But the problem with youtube is that you can only watch the video and you can't save it so I'd have to be on the internet each and every time that I want to watch the videos, and one more problem is that my slow internet connection slows down even more when I'm watching that video.

RvX Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 There is a Firefox extension that enables you to download videos from youtube directly to your hard drive. Of course you have to have special player to these files, but it's quite attractive to you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfire Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 If there is such an extension please can you tell me the name of the extension the url and tell me which media player to use which will support the youtube video files? Thanks a lot. Waiting for reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemama718 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 i think it's called VideoDownloader...and when you download it and open it the plug in gives u instructions on downloading this other program called RIVA flv encoder that rips the video from the flash files (youtube stores the videos in .swf files) correct me if i'm wrong... here's the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfire Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Is it even legal to use that addon cause I think that youtube doesn't want people to save their videos just wants them to watch them. Someone better inform them about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemama718 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 ahah. first, i love how the domain name is google.com...xD google's taking overr... http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/...amp;topic=10517 they say currently its not available, but suggests alternative ways...but it doesnt seem like they're against downloading them (if that was possible...-cough-videodownloader-cough-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushroomz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Usually I just use Google like everyone else. But sometimes I go to Yahoo or MSN if I can't find enough of what I'm searching for because their search result is slightly different.

MarioFan1212 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 All the best search engines piled into one ~ Dogpile.com. As for downloading YouTube videos, use vixy.net. You can like download it into AVI/MOV/MP4/MP3/3GP. If you are not going to vixy.net to try it out right now, something is wrong with you.

Dragonfire Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 vixy.net is not all that good. I think that downloading from torrents is better. Can anyone help me out with utorrent I just can't make it work. I do have limewire pro and somehow the torrent file opened in limewire pro. I don't know how it works but at least it does. Help needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushroomz Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm starting to dislike Google now. The search results they give you has been "modified." I mean that if you search for something like "translator" it will give you results that includes translation, translater, etc. I do not like that. Because in certain situations, a different spelling like that could mean a lot of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrey Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 but newnova.org is just torent search .. and i do not know what to do with torrents .. i meen when i download the turrents then what shud i do by the way .. anyone know any beyblade episode downloads site yet vixy.net is not all that good. I think that downloading from torrents is better. Can anyone help me out with utorrent I just can't make it work. I do have limewire pro and somehow the torrent file opened in limewire pro. I don't know how it works but at least it does. Help needed. First you get a torrent program. I would recommend utorrent. Download it here: http://www.utorrent.com/ Then you go search for what you want in a torrent search engine. I would recommend this search engine: www.torrentspy.com All the ads are very annoying but it is one of the biggest torrent databases. Then you download the torrent, open the torrent up with utorrent, a screen will pop up, don't change anything just scroll down and click ok, and it will start downloading. It is exactly like file sharing. Wow how did you get the torrent to work limewire. You should try searching for the video you want in limewire it should come up. For other file sharing programs I would go to: www.oldversion.com They don't have the most current versions, but it has a lot of them. Plus you can go to the filesharing programs website, and download the most current version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfire Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 I was waiting for an answer for so long but then I searched on the internet to find out how it works and then soon came to know about seeds, peers and leechers. Then I tried downloading a file with some seeds and finally did know how it works. Anyways thanks for trying to help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonfire Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Besides downloading from torrents, you can also download using p2p software. I prefer using Limewire pro. First someone told me that kaaza was good then I came to know about limewire and starting from that day I started using limewire pro. I did have to give away some money but it was really worth it. And if you people don't want to spend money, then you can also download a free version of limewire from http://www.limewire.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Kaaza & Kaaza Lite are better. The reason is because with both you can download a lot more, and are more safe. But that is my opinion.
