  "My Video Downloader can't even run itself!"

  April 29, 2009  |   By AnthonyStargate

  Pros

  There is nothing to like here. Cleaning my refrigerator was more fun than trying to install My Video Downloader.

  Cons

  The program keeps nagging me about a proxy server! It never finished loading.

  Summary

  When I installed My Video Downloader and when I ran it, it kept giving me this message - Please verify your proxy settings.
  
  Even though, just before that, it displayed a little screen that read - Testing internet connection, and then it read - Connected.
  
  I'm at a public library; There's no proxy server here. Firefox is working fine, everything else is working okay, but not this program. No matter if I click on Okay or Cancel, it just won't finish loading.
  
  I read 6 glowing reviews for My Video Downloader. I saw that all of them were written on April the 14th. Weeeeell, isn't that special? So the programmer asked 6 friends to write a little review for his project, each one full of praise.
  
  I've had mostly good results with Free Download Manager, except for one documentary that it could not manage to download. I tried a handful of video downloading programs, and they all failed to glom on to the documentary, but I finally managed to retrieve it with Real Player. So there are 2 suggestions for you, Free Download Manager for speed, and failing that, try Real Player, version 11. (Version 10 does not have the download videos feature.)

  Hello Anthony, My name is Rory and I created this program. I am sorry that you had this experience, let me help clarify what is going on. The proxy warning comes when you are behind a corporate proxy server (using the internet at work). This was added to MVD so you could enter your work proxy server information (found in internet explorer in the options) and use this application behind work servers. This is a feature that is not found in many downloaders out there. I can understand where you are coming from and hope others see my response to help them as well.
  If you have further questions or concerns feel free to contact us at our website www.MyVideoDownloader.com
  PS I love your sense of humor in your writing =)
  
  Rory
