Question

"Improved YouTube Downloader" Why?

Sep 24, 2011 3:01PM PDT

The software used to work (I got it from CNet). Did YouTube come up with methods to block downloading? Or what settings must I try to make it work again. Furthermore, I tried some simialr free downloads from CNet. None worked.

The Youtube terms of use say that downloading isn't allowed. So be glad you now adhere to them.

YouTube says no downloading and makes changes that may or may not purposely break downloaders.

Since we agree to agree to agreements (a CNET forum thing) you don't find much support to get around the agreements.
