I finally broke down and got YouTube Downloader. It is downloading at a ridiculously slow rate. Is there something I can do to up the speed? I use Verizon Fios and it is generally pretty quick. Thanks!

Reading the Youtube agreement you agreed not to do that.
Do you think it proper that Youtube cripple such software or break it to keep folk from downloading?

R. Proffitt,
I've read a lot of threads here which have been locked by C|NET
moderators and I can state that you are mistaken in your position.
You Tube videos DO NOT require signing an agreement to be viewed. They
are opened to the public.
ONLY, and I repeat, ONLY if you wish to sign
up as a member are you required to abide by their TOS agreement.
Since these videos are in the public domain, and since the public is NOT
REQUIRED to sign any agreement to view the videos, members of the
general public who DO NOT sign up to Youtube may view and download
content at their disposal.
So unlock those threads and get these discussions going once again.
