It works but the download is slow. It took 11 minutes to download a 4 MB music video. I'm using Windows 11 Home with 32 MG of RAM. That's plenty of horse power. I'm also using 2 ad blockers which were turned off at the time...

It works but is slower than slow. A case in point is that it took 7 minutes to download a 3 minute 9 second music video. It was the same on both of my computers, one of which is a T-1 line connection...

I gave this 5 star because it works. I can't reach the developer but maybe al3k_popov reads this message. Good job al3k_popov. Is there a way to get the software to name the download the same as the video. It sometimes does it but most of the time the name defaults to "-YouTube.mp4" which requires manually setting the name... Thanks. You can reach me on reza-at-rezamusic-dot-com
