DownloadHelper Does Just That

Download music and videos from a website with one simple firefox add-on.
It really couldn't be any easier with DownloadHelper. A song or video is just a few clicks away from being stored on your hard drive. You can go to nearly any site like imeem, youtube, aol, DivxTube, etc. and be able to download pretty much anything they offer. With the internet browser firefox, install the add-on, and when you see or hear something you like look at the DownloadHelper symbol that should be to the right of the address bar. If it's gray then you're not able to download it, but if it's in color and moving then you're in luck. Click the down arrow that shows up when you hover your mouse over the spinning symbol to see what's available. Now even though it may have a bizarre name, the file you want is most likely there. If you select one of the options and the download is done immediately you probably have a dud. Try another selection until you get a fairly large file depending on what file you're downloading. After it's complete, you need a player that recognizes .flv files. I recommend Media Player Classic that's included in a very useful codec pack called k-lite. You can also convert .flv files into something else with SUPER. So now you can go nuts by clicking on the DownloadHelper symbol at any time and looking at the list of sites that you can download media from with you're new add-on.
