CNET Editors' review
Free YouTube Downloader lets you easily download videos from YouTube and convert them to viewable video formats for your desktop, tablet, or other mobile device. It supports output to AVI, WMV, MOV, MP3, MP4, and many more formats. If you want the ability to save and view YouTube videos while offline, this is the tool to use.
Free YouTube Downloader is simple. Grab the URL of a YouTube video, paste it into Free YouTube Downloader, choose your output format and preferred video quality, then click Download. That's it. You can even save in high definition (720p or 1080p).
We would have liked to be able to name a file before downloading and saving it. But that's a minor inconvenience. Also, when installing, be sure to read carefully and uncheck items as needed. Otherwise you may find some unwanted installs, including a search toolbar and several partner shortcuts on your desktop.
Overall, Free YouTube Downloader is a highly recommended program that performs its singular function perfectly.

"I agree with the above!"
Version: Free YouTube Downloader 3.5.126
Pros
This program works as promised! It is simple to use and I have not had any issues!
BUT, you MUST read the installation instructions CAREFULLY and REFUSE any and every thing over and above the actual program.
Seems like I avoided a boat-load of problems by doing that!Cons
None, so far!
Summary
Not sure about speeds and some of the other problems. Downloads/conversions seem quick enough for me. But, again, YOU MUST NOT ALLOW IT TO INSTALL ALL THE ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS. THEY DO ASK, SO IT IS UP TO YOU TO READ!

"safer and more stable than the must pay IDM !!!"
Version: Free YouTube Downloader 3.5.126
Pros
On my pcs, it ran smoothly and quick. The more videos to download, the slower it will become and it is perfectly normal as it largely depends on your subscribed bandwith to your ISP.
Cons
Not beautiful like some other downloaders. When Youtube alter some of it's video parameters every now and then, things can get difficult and this affects all downloaders.
Summary
I installed this software after reformatting my hard drives to completely rid of Internet Download Manager IDM software. A lot of advanced users are aware of IDM hidden tracker which sends data back under disguises out to their computers. Some claimed IDM people are now out to scare people from using any free softwares by other companied for fear of their declining revenue. So please beware!
