I've been using flashgot for almost a year. But recently it stopped working with some youtube videos. I can download the file, but it's only a 0 byte file. This happened to almost 15 videos so far.
for example this one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFN5g2fnG4o

It's working fine for me, both with the built in and with Orbit (34 MB file).
What DL manager are you using?

I'm using the default one in Firefox.Add ons which i use are adblock plus, no script and flashgot. All of them are in their latest version.

I just checked again and no videos are working now! Flashgot only downloads a '0 byte' file. So i downloaded 'orbit downloader' and installed it. It is able to download those videos. So i think it's flashgot's problem. It was working very well before and i didn't change it's settings.

Please notice that, if you're using the built-in download manager, the download won't appear to be started (i.e. it will be seen as 0 length as you say) until the movie finishes to play or you switch to a different movie, because FlashGot tries to reuse the cached bits rather than downloading the stream twice.
If you use an external download manager (such as Orbit) even with FlashGot Media the download will start immediately, but the cache won't be reused and the name won't be guessed.

I've already tried to download the video when it was fully cached(like i always do with flashgot). But it didn't work. Then i tried to download it when the video just started caching. Then the download window appeared saying 'download is starting'. The download window(saying 'download is starting') stayed like that for a long time until i canceled it. Flashgot used to download the video in a second if it was fully cached.
