    "Doesn't work with Seamonkey 2.15.1"

    February 2, 2013  |   By lookat

    Version: GetGo YouTube Downloader 1.7.0.1055

    Pros

    Several weeks before an earlier version stopped working then updated and began working again.

    Cons

    But over time, this version too began to not work. The error message that is most common with my copy of the software is as follows:
    The connection can not be set up!
    Output format was set as WMV.

    Summary

    In general I can not tell if it is a browser incompatibility issue but know also that RealPlayer Downloader also fails to work with SeaMonkey but it does work with Firefox as well as Internet Explorer.

    Version: GetGo YouTube Downloader 1.6.0.742

    Pros

    GetGo Youtube Downloader used to work then stopped then updated then began working again, then shortly after that stopped working again as if there are attempts at YouTube to thwart the use of GetGo YouTube Downloader software issue.

    "Software is safe, but it doesn't function correctly"

    December 23, 2012  |   By pcgeek1

    Version: GetGo YouTube Downloader 1.7.0.1055

    Pros

    No viruses
    Easy interface

    Tried to convert multitudes of youtube videos, and Getgo kept displaying error messages.

    Summary

    Getgo is not a good product. It's safe, but it just doesn't get the job done.

    "I have version 1.6.0.959"

    September 21, 2012  |   By lookat

    Version: GetGo YouTube Downloader 1.3.0.215

    Pros

    It worked properly a few weeks ago.
    Now it does not work. Can't connect error.
    I have been running Windows 7, home premium with RealDownloader and it works but that doesn't help much because I want GetGo to work and they told me recently there was an issue with the program that would be worked out soon.

    Cons

    Wondering how long this will take.
    meanwhile have to use RealDownloader but this means I have to download the file, then if I want an MP3 of the video only, I have to convert it, or if I want a Windows Media Video version I have to convert the .flv version as this type file is what RealPlayer or RealDownloader creates in Windows as a video file format.

    Summary

    1.6.0.959 will also not work but did work last month.
