"Great for individual, but buggy for multiple..."

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The latest version of this program fixes one of the most annoying things about earlier versions. Command W. no longer quits the program without confirmation!
In previous versions, you would browse a bunch of videos in safari, then hit command W to close your current safari window only to realize that you were in video box instead of Safari! If you had added 15 videos to video box, the program would promptly quit without confirmation, forgetting all 15 videos you had added! Finally tasty apps has eliminated this brain dead feature, and now video box requires a confirmation before quitting.
Still, the program has bugs. Sometimes you may add a lot of videos, and if you don't download them right away, video box will refuse to do so. Other times, the program gives all videos the same name except for a number at the end, creating a jumble of downloaded videos that can't be distinguished from one another by file name.
On the plus side, the program does succeed in downloading videos from practically every video Site I've tried it on. If you want to download one or two videos, the program works well, but it does not always live up to its promise of downloading multiple videos at a time. In short, this program has a lot of bugs it need to be worked out before it can get a top review.
