Those familiar with the program know that Firefox has a useful little program called 'Video Downloader' which is capable of downloading YouTube movies. HOORAY, I'm now downloading all of Season 2, but just one problem...

IT'S FUCKING SLOW.

My normally blazing fast (anywhere from 300KBPS minimum to 650KBPS max) has slowed to - get this - 15KBPS. This is painfully slow for downloading 8 simultaneous videos (I'm moving VERY fast with downloading these because another user had his Season 2 wiped for Copyright Infringement), and I've been at it for 4 hours. I should finish Season 2 and start on Tamers by tommorow, but this is REALLY aggrivating me because my GAMES will interfere with the download and vice-versa, meaning I've been cut off from my lifeblood for the time being.
Wow Ghost Op..How unfortunate...If I find out a way that you can download them better, more efficiently and faster I would tell you. I hope that the downloads will be alot easier. Well good luck Ghost Op and if I find something that would make it easier I will post it here. In the meantime, good luck....
Alright, episodes 1-24 of Season 2 are all downloaded, transcoded and ready to play, but all-in-all that took about 4-6 hours!

I'm eventually going to post these up on Google Video, so that you guys can download them all to your computers.
Thanks for the help Ghost Op......^_^
I download one at a time, and I have nothing running in the background. I am on episode 22 of series one, and I'll get series two later on.

And I'll get whatever episodes I can in other languages.

I've also set my television and playstation up next to my PC. I get to play all the games I've been meaning to play, but haven't.
That's you're problem. You're downloading a lot. When I download things I download one then another. Simple as that.
one at a time so your comp wont go so slow,Brother.

cause What'Cha gonna Do....When Lag Runs Wild on you...
UPDATE: I've got 1-28 of season two locked down, and I'm doing 29-32 now.

It has something to do with doing the process over and over again, so I'm restarting my comp after every batch (I'm only doing 4 at a time now). The entire process for one batch takes about 40-60 minutes.

If anyone has requests for specific episodes they want immediately, PM me. I'll post them on Google Video (they are at 340 by 400 resolution or something like that, so they will look crazy shit in Google Video, but you can download them through the site).

EDIT: I forgot to mention, download rates are back up to about 65 KBPS :)

The download rate is capped at about 65 KBPS for one video anyway, so doing one at a time is impractical for me.
i think you're lucky...I'm currently downloading AIM at a speed of: 1.59KB/sec.
I would love to download at 15kb/sec. I've never even seen anything dl at more than 10kb/sec.
You have no sympathy from me. XP
