DownThemAll! Download Slowdown

[Harrison]

I don't know if the issue is specific to DownThemAll! or is something more general. As I said, when downloads stop downloading in that download manager, if I then launch another download manager that won't download anything either unless I reboot the system.

I'd actually forgot about Flashget. Might give it a try again. What is the advantage of using the classic version over the current one?

BTW, have any of you heard of Orbit? I found it a while back whilst trying to download some streaming flash movies for my wife to use in a school project. It seemed to work OK, but not sure of its footprint or how it installs into the OS.

You mean this? Looks like any other flash downloader.
Downloading from YT isn't nuclear-science these days, basically any extension allows it.

I'd just stop bothering with that extension if it's not working, try FlashGot.

I know the newest 3 version has MANY ad's, plus IIRC it integrates itself with torrent (or some other p2p protocol) which sucked for me since I prefer one program to do one thing.
The classic 2 version was still great, but like I said, it started to cause problems a few updates ago (either of Windows 7 or Firefox), started hanging when the download started.

EDIT: I think the classic one is 1.73 ---> http://www.flashget.com/en/download.htm
... or 1.9.6? don't remember....

I installed it in the past, but I had strange issues so I disabled it. But 1-Click-YouTube Downloader is really good.
