Please recommend a YouTube downloader

YouTube DL

Install from Linux file manager and also downloaded a recent version.
Both doesn't launch.

Next ...

Add on in Firefox : Video Downloadhelper.

Can't show further other screenshots because when I want to take that screenshot, the dialoge with the error massage disappears.
Bottom line is It does not work. I get a message : Failed aggregating -name of file-

Hey guys,

Yet again, I do have a perfect working system.
All software in Linux(lots of it I do use) do work perfectly..!
Even VM + W7 + a very demanding 3D-CAD program that doesn’t run in Linux. All running simultaneously.
I also do upload + download using FTP, no problem there. I also upload/download using 'Wetransfer'.

I really do not understand why I have these problems downloading from Youtube.

Later on some more downloaders that failed....hold on...!

Hey,

Instead of posting what didn't work, l'm busy now installing Firefox add-ons to see what will work.
I chose one in the add-on list : 'Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express'.
It downloaded + saved in the correct format.
Drawback, only 1 download possible per session.
But at least, it is working...
Me...almost happy camper...

Another Firefox-add-on : 'Video Downloader Prime'.

Trying to download with that rubbish : error : No Videos to Download!
Very strange, at the time I had 3 (three) videos running.

YouTube Video and Audio Downloader (Dev Edt.)

This Firefox-add-on does work but only one download/session.
Earlier full installation of YTDownloader did not work at all.

Firefox Add-on 'Video Downloader Professional'

Got this message while trying to download :
To me rubbish, sorry.

[Chriske]

Going to stop installing add-ones. I found three working downloaders.
That should be enough for other people in need of a working downloader.
Non of them can handle multidownloads, pity.

[Chriske]

This thread could definitely be marked as SOLVED...
I only got 3 Add-ons working, but I suppose there should be far more.
On the first page of Firefox possible download add-ons I counted 17 video-downloaders. A few of them didn't work, but I suppose there are lots that do work.

Hey, if you still need it, I got a great YouTube downloader that I have been using all the time. Frankly, I was one of those dumb people who didn't know how to download videos from YouTube and was so confused when my friends used to put films from there in an offline mode Well, I made them share their secret with me, and they showed me this y2mate.party which turned out a very useful site. This is the number one YouTube downloader for me. Therefore, I recommend you to check it out too. I have been using it ever since Especially useful during long rides when you are not the driver, obviously
