User reviews

Users appreciate that the add-on supports downloads from Vimeo and YouTube, offers pause/resume features, and lets them download lower quality videos to save space. It is seen as simple and generally effective. However, multiple reviews report very slow downloads due to server-side conversion, inconsistencies in naming and interface, misleading download options that omit audio, and concerns about redirecting to potentially unsafe sites during downloads.

Pros

Works with Vimeo and YouTube URLs
Supports pause and resume functionality for downloads
Allows downloading of lower quality videos (useful for saving storage)

Generally gets the job done and delivers good download quality

Cons

Downloads are very slow, sometimes taking from 15 minutes to hours
Inconsistent naming and misleading interface compared to screenshots
Downloads video-only files without audio for YouTube videos without clear warnings
Offers download options for higher resolutions not available in the original video without clarification
Download redirects to a site flagged as 'badware' by uBlock Origin

works well for player.vimeo, seems to be the only one that works for this type of url, pause and resume download function supported which is incredibly nice, lovey for downloading low quality because I am always running out of storage space, and most other downloaders will allow large file size or 480p and up, which is not what I want. 240p and 144p would be even better, since I just want to see a general picture of what is going on, but detail is not really important. Would be nice if it opened in new tab, instead of new window. would also be nice to see file size and video time length. 5 stars because it gets the job done. It's slow but it it's trusty. Set it and forget it, then download.
