Downloading videos

Yeah, maybe I'm going a little overboard in defending myself, but I get very annoyed when people make me out to be an idiot when I actually know better than they do on a subject. Doubly so when they wave around technical credentials and then spout the same ignorant crap.

I'll probably put up some more pics on the photo board later to make up for forcing people to read this argument.

You are an hero.
I completely agree. And I have credentials .

I meant to say I'm an IT guy myself, but there is a better way to suggest things.

Could you at least not act like a condescending asshole while you're spewing false info? I never thought in a million years that this would actually lead to an argument but atube catcher does not give people trojans and free software is fine as long as you're not a complete idiot about it.

See that? That's a download.com link, that site being widely trusted among just about everyone on the internet as a site that doesn't put up dangerous things. Note the "tested spyware free"? Note the positive review? Now take your own advice and google "atube catcher spyware" and "atube catcher trojan". Are you seeing anything that's not a spam link or anything that seems to be legitimate? If you do, please link it here, cause I'd like to see it.

Seriously, you're not as smart as you think you are just because you've spent some time in a related industry. In fact, the fact that you're telling people to download Realplayer while simultaneously attacking me for advocating a free alternative because "it has trojans" shows how vast the depth of your ignorance truly is, considering how RP embeds itself so deep into your computer that it's literally almost impossible to remove all traces of it once it's installed.

In conclusion, you're stunningly out of touch with how to find safe, free software, and I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop lording over me like you know better when you really don't. And don't just attack me for insulting you if you insist on responding to this. Take your own advice, google the software, and come back with a shred of evidence that it causes damage to people's computers. I'd invite anyone else who's watching with with bemusement to do the same thing if you think I'm lying and Tony is some kind of master of internet knowledge.

WOW you wrote that all for my benefit, I am touched, nobody has ever wasted their time for me before, your my hero, if I could give you a medal I would. You have set me up for a good day. Thank you

[Ellipsis]

Well, thanks for at least proving that you're willing to start an argument and insult my intelligence without actually being capable of responding to anything I say back. Then again I suppose a fetish board isn't exactly the place to go for rational discussion so in retrospect I'm not that surprised. I'll just go ahead and show myself out of the thread, since yelling at brick walls has never been my favourite pastime.

turn off pc

I've used it and its quite good. However one caveat. I run XP and with Realplayer installed I can't delete MP4 files. I don't know technically why this is. So if there's a bunch of stuff I want to download I install Realplayer, copy the files to disk, uninstall Realplayer, then delete the MP4 files.

if you switch off your pc then on again, you have a small window to delete them, strange you should mention that, as just bought a second hand pc and have no prob, but used to on the old one. both xp. cant believe not everyone realised you just press download to record youtube, thought everyone knew, have been able to for a couple of years.

It has the added advantage that you can save youtube music tracks as MP3's

Nice, I've never seen this program before, this will make getting music so much easier.
