(Rating count:

HLS Downloader is praised for its ease of use, free access, and ability to extract streaming video URLs and handle batch downloads. However, multiple users report inconsistencies with the download process—files sometimes don't save correctly, and saved files may be in .ts format that is hard to play. Recent UI issues, such as non-responsive buttons and layout problems for long filenames, are also common complaints. Additionally, users find it unclear where downloads are stored, and some report poor performance on several websites. Pros
- Works effectively on various video sites and streams, including obscure ones.
- User-friendly interface with no premium restrictions.
- Can handle batch downloading of multiple large video files.
- Free and without usage limits for many users.
- Useful for extracting playlist URLs from streamed videos.
Cons
- Download functionality is inconsistent; some users report files not saving or disappearing after completion.
- UI issues in latest versions, such as buttons being pushed out of view or not functioning properly.
- Downloaded files often have .ts extension and may not play easily with standard players.
- Lack of clarity on where downloaded files are saved leads to user confusion.
- Does not work on many websites as expected; fails to detect or download videos properly.

| 2025-05-09 | No***** | | Hi, there's a minor problem in the latest version. The Downloads tab has a nested div which has its CSS display property set as table. For downloads with lengthy filenames, the table display value causes the Save and Delete buttons to be pushed out of view to the right. Simply removing the display: table property on that div resolves the problem. Thanks for the extension! I'd report this on Github, but it's overrun with spam. |
| 2025-05-07 | Na***** | | It honestly just works. Clean UI, easy downloads, no premium lock, that ive encountered yet. Well done! |
| 2025-02-06 | YS***** | | 好用！牛逼！ |
| 2024-12-27 | Ro***** | | Has been working brilliantly, but all of a sudden it does not recognise any movies at all from the site I have been downloading from for months. (https://1flix.to/movie). Needs to have an update. |
| 2024-12-10 | Ju***** | | Doesn't work at all. The 'Downloads' tab shows the items downloaded in a list but only has a delete button for each item. Nothing in my downloads folder. Turned on the 'save as' dialog, but nothing pops up when downloading to specify where to save it. Seems like there's a button next to 'delete' that's partially visible but can't see what it says and clicking it does nothing. Tried the 'report a bug' button but clicking that also does nothing. |
| 2024-09-09 | Ал***** | | Doesn't save downloaded files at all. Nothing happens when you press "save" button. Only takes more and more space in Edge temp folder. |
| 2024-07-21 | No***** | | Would be nice to actually know where the downloads folder is for it, but it seems to be working fine... |

| 2024-05-08 | ***** | | Download button disappeared |
