Flashgot has stopped working on YouTube

Post by eradic8 »

I've tried to download videos today from YouTube, but it appears that Flashgot is no longer working. The size of the download in Flashgot is not showing correctly For instance I just tried to download a video with a running time of of over 10 minutes and it is showing up as 833kb in size, and that is the size it downloads at. I've tried downloading various files, all different sizes and non of them show up as being larger than one megabyte in size in Flashgot, and that is what it downloads at. Yesterday I downloaded about 10 files from YouTube, all various sizes up to 114 megabytes with no problem, but today it is not working. Arrrrgh! it's frustrating, anyone any idea what is wrong. Is it something to do with Youtube blocking the downloads or something?

Might it be a networking issue?
It's downloading 29MB for me.

No I just tried downloading an mp3 from ccmixter.org and it downloaded perfectly o.k at full download speed. I will try uninstalling flashgot, then re-installing it and see if that works.

Just re-installed flashgot and all is working fine now, currently downloading the file. I just remembered though, I was using private browsing, and I'm guessing that was probably the issue, I will soon find out as when I have finish downloading this file I will try again in private browsing mode. It is probably obvious to many on the forum, but I never thought private browsing would effect the ability to download from Youtube.

Edit: Well it started working albeit very slow, and then it speeded up, and now it has stopped on 44% download. Arrrrrrrrrrgh! this is winding me up.

It may also very well be a networking glich on Youtube's side.
Are you using the built-in Firefox download manager?
Does it work better with an external download manager?

Yes I'm using the built-in downloder, Since re-installing Flashgot I have had no problem downloading YouTube videos, with the exception of the video from the link I posted. For some reason it is being a problem to download.
