Hi, I've been using Flashgot for a while now, and it works great. That is until this last Thursday when all my attempts to save vids from Youtube (and ONLY Youtube) have resulted in empty 0 byte files. I've tried updating FF, removing and reinstalling Flashgot, waiting til the vid fully loaded and saving from the cache... all to no avail.

Strangely I am able of save a YT vid that is embedded in a web page, but if I click through to it's source on Youtube I only get the empty 0 byte file.

I've heard that Youtube sometimes alters their code to mess with download programs, do you know if this is the case?

Thank you for your time.

Can I see the exact page where this happens?
Also, did you try letting the video play fully before starting the donwload?

In order to download Youtube videos, you should use "FlashGot Media" (ctrl+F7)
