FireAnt

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

This stylish video aggregator grabs online video based on searches or updates to a preloaded list of sites. FireAnt has an easy-to-comprehend interface with three vertical panes. The first presents a directory tree listing of sites and search phrases; the second, a list of updates and search results; and the third plays a selected video.

FireAnt proves that a program can be both stylish and functional, as it responded quickly to all of our tests. We appreciate how quickly it opens to a full-window size when we click the panes tab. It performs both downloads and searches in a snap. Impatient downloaders will certainly appreciate the progression box that appears after clicking a video site or URL, letting them track the download percentage.

Of note, parents of impressionable children will want to monitor their use of FireAnt. But anyone who wants to keep up to date on the Web's growing video world will like this easy-to-use utility.
