Russ, we are so sorry for the inconvenience. We support many video and music websites. Have you installed any anti virus software which may prevent downloading

Rocky Conner, Yes it supports many websites like youtube, vimeo, twitter, facebook, spotify, soundcloud, tidal, daylimotion, porn video websites etc websites

David, I attempted to convert a youtube TV video (not a video on youtube) but it seemed to be asking for a youtube login and password. Not sure if it's not supported or just confused.

Rocky Conner,

Since YoutubeTV is a paid service, the software needs to be able to authenticate itself to YoutubeTV in order to gain access to the content. That's not to say that it will work, as I don't have YoutubeTV so am unable to try.

The same will be required of any pay service, or service that requires an account, that you try to download from. It doesn't necessarily have to be a pay service.

Dan, Yes, the lifetime update license can be installed on 3 computers

Tinks, thank you for your review and support

terry, you may contact support@allavsoft.com

N.B.: Windows 10 64-bit

Benn, We are so sorry for the inconvenience.

FrankY, It is powerful and easy to use.
It support many video and music websites and directly download to almost all kinds of video and audio formats

AJ, You may transfer the downloaded video or music files to anywhere to play in any media player or devcies you like or keep it forever

David, Sorry but I meant if it is possible to run Allavsoft from an USB-stick on a computer that’s not your own?

One other detail: I don't see an extension for this tool in Chrome or Firefox. It's not disabled -- it's simply not present.

Robert W,
Exactly the same thing happened to me ...nothing... and I also have the latest updates and win10

Robert W, Please contact support@allavsoft.com

David, I did contact support, but the installer they provided generated all kinds of errors. The fix was to turn off my antivirus (Avast) during the installation and override Windows' complaints about an unknown publisher. It's distressing that both Windows security and Avast reported suspicious activity by this tool. I'm going to check it with Malwarebytes. If it also complains, I will uninstall.

Yinger, It is easy to use. No special tech skills needed

Two steps to download online original videos and music files to computer:
Step 1: Copy and paste the video or music link to Allavosft.
Step 2: Click Download button.

Three steps to convert online videos and music files to any video or audio format.
Step 1: Copy and paste the video or music link to Allavsoft
Step 2: Check before Automatically Convert to to select desired video format like MP4, AVI, WMV, MPG, MKV, MOV, VOB, RMVB, FLV etc from General Video or select MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, AIFF, WMA, OGG etc from General Audio category.
Step 3: Click Download button.

... okay, my question has now reappeared. As for an answer, however, well ...

fotoflex, After you get the Allavsoft323Win&Mac-db28sy.zip file, unzip it and you will get the license code in the readme.txt and you can set the license name as your name

fotoflex,

By some chance to you overlook the third file in the download called, "README"? I bet it would be of some help in your situation... It's not put in there because it makes the them feel warm and fuzzy to do it.

Don, It never occurs on our side. What about try it on another comoputer?

Rolf Lanto, You may find the Registration key for Mac in the readme.txt

rick carlton, if you click the 3 dots and pick Share you can copy a song or album link. This is what you paste.

rick carlton, Right click the Spotify song or playlist, and then chose Share and then select Copy Song Link or Copy Playlist Link
Please refer to this step by step guide on how to use Allavsoft to download Spotify to MP3, Spotify to FLAC or Spotify to M4A, WAV, OGG, AIFF, WMA etc and how to find the Spotify url
https://www.allavsoft.com/how-to/download-spotify-to-mp3-flac-wav-wma-m4a-ogg-aiff.html

Bugs, I test again on our side. It still works for youtube. There is no need to wait so long.

Flash River, Thank you for your support and purchase. If the download feature does not work for a specific website, you may also use the Record feature

Flash River, You're down voted, because you dare to tell the same a me. This downloader and converter works just fine on my Windows installation and on my girlfriends Mac as well. People, who're unable to read the text file : Readme.text are rewarded with an upvote. Strange, isn't it ;o)

Niles, Our Allavsoft is safe to use, and there is no virus in it. You may allow it to install it or firstly turn off the anti virus software or contact your anti virus software to let them manually test our product.

Maureen, The latest version still supports Spotify, Allavsoft also supports other websites like Youtube, Twitter Vimeo, Spotify, Soundcloud, Tidal, Lynda, Facebook, Dailymotion, nbcnews, CNN, BBC, ESPN, PBS, Kissasian, , etc 1000+ websites.
If the download feature does not work, it also has the Record option.

Yanco, yes. When websites change something in the way they deliver the stream, the app needs to adapt to continue being effective. It's not often but it happens.

Yanco, If you do not update, the license can work on the giveaway version for free for ever.

Robert, Thank you for your answer

Jack, Thank you for your purchase and support

bob,
Lifetime licence should mean you can keep it for as long as you have the computer, but you can't upgrade. That will likely mean some sites will stop working after a while.

bob, Then put on there Lifetime licence unless you update.....simply
Not con people in thinking its free for life.

Its a bit like the old Unlimited internet.... when you ask the company they say No its Unlimited to 30 gb after that you have to pay more.

sdduk, Sorry Bob wasn't meant for you it was for rodken.
Couldn't delete the post.

bob, Thank you for your understanding and support

bob, Thank you for your understanding and support

bob, That's a fundamental misunderstanding of not only what they're offering, but the definition of lifetime license, as well.

Their offer is a lifetime license WITHOUT updates. Lifetime license means the software functions for as long as you choose to use it and you never have to uninstall it. Their offer, without updates, just means you won't be able to update it, unless you purchase that right, sometime later.

Keep in mind that although the product will function for life, it may not function properly, as some websites change the way they present their content, which means the download app has to change to meet those new requirements. That's where the update part comes in.

I hope that helpful.

tom, Thank you for your review

Richard Laslo, If your computer is Windows version, please install the Windows version setup.exe, if your computer is the Mac version, please install the Mac version setup.dmg

Richard Laslo,

Did you read the README file?

David, I cannot open the zip file . It is corrupt .

IIIer, simply keep the older closed when you install the new version. It is okay if you want to firstly uninstall and then reinstall

IIIer, It'll overwrite the existing version. It did for me. No problemo

IIIer,
I've been installing newer versions right over the older ones all the time with no problems at all.
Hope this helps.

Allan F, Yes it is

David, Thanks for being present, David, and responding swiftly - even when someone didn't read the read.me file :))

agnodike, We just test the youtube and vimeo, v. 3.23.3.7740 still works.
If it does not work on your side, please contact support@allavsoft.com and provide your video link.
Have you installed any anti virus software which may prevent downloading.

agnodike,

I try to stay away from posting here, but for this, it sounds familiar to something I encountered. I am not saying this might be the cause it is not working, but a likely suspect is in Windows antivirus settings .

I had a program that would load up and not work and I even had a program all of a sudden not load up. I contacted support at this well known photo editor company, who's program I had purchased, and after a few back and forth, I checked their final suggestion to look at my Ransomeware settings. Sure enough, in the settings the program was blocked and needed to be added to the 'trusted app' section.

Once I did that, everything worked fine on my photo editor, and the other program and allowed them to work no problem. I do believe Microsoft updated the strength of that setting a few updates past (last year 2020).

Where you find it; Settings >> Windows Update & Security >> Virus & Threat Protection (scroll to the bottom) >> Ransomeware Protection . Under Ransomware, click on the blue 'manage settings' and it should be straightforward from there.

So to end this, if you ever have a program that all of a sudden does not work, or will not load up properly and it is a well known developer, check the "blocked apps" in Ransomeware settings first. BTW, I will NOT change those main settings other then, if YOU need to add an known app, or an app you are installing to the trusted list. As, Ransomware protection is there for a reason, to stop unknown or hidden apps from running/loading.

Hope that helps and might be the culprit.

Cheers.

Sparrow, Yes, it will download both the videos and subtitles into the same Download folder.

Allan F, Today, the giveaway license key can work on the latest version on our official website. After today, it will limit updates.

David, Thanks for the swift reply, David, and thanks a lot for the free update of my fave YT downloader.

Alan, It is our pleasure. If the original source file video format did not play well, you may also check before Automatically Convert to and select other video format to test it. You may get the original source file in the Download folder and the converted file in Convert folder.
If the source file meet your need, there is no need to check before Automatically Convert to

Alan,
No laughing here: the "Legacy" Firefox 5290 is one of the 4 browsers I *still* typically run, because I very much dislike many of the design changes they have since implemented, including discontinuing so many great extensions that were based on the previous architecture. One of those was an excellent general downloader (in the IDM sense), DownThemAll, which also worked very well for videos. After a prolonged period of stasis where the developers of DTA threatened to throw in the towel entirely (as many other FF extension developers did) they had a change of heart and came out with a new version that was designed to work with the new (inferior) FF architecture for extensions. Also with a version for Opera. But neither of these new versions worked anywhere near as well as my old DTA for FF 5290. I thought so highly of several of my old extensions that I carefully backed up the whole FireFox profile so that it could be preserved and restored if necessary. That proved to be a good measure against program or profile corruption, which can happen, and allowed transporting the whole kit & caboodle to other computers later on. Most of it all still works fine. Some may tell you that using older programs exposes you to all sorts of latter day dangers, but that isn't the case if you employ reasonable cautions with them. I've had current-issue Opera -- which updates itself frequently -- get compromised by a nasty website malware . . . and Opera installations are much harder to backup properly than that old FireFox has been. But I do like Opera for its superior printing capability, and certain other features.

Anyway, getting back to Allavsoft downloader, I'd heard of it for a long time, and am looking forward to trying it out. There is no single downloader that can cover all the download situations you run into. So, just as with the browsers -- and video editors or converters -- it is better to have a few of them you can call upon.

Gene,

Much better than Opera : Vivaldi
Much better than standard Firefox : Firefox ESR
My preferred browser : palemoon

palemoon is the browser you want. It is not based on chrome/chromium/IE.

palemoon only accepts .xpi (i.e. XUL) add-ons, not WebExtensions.

These extensions are available on "github DOT com SLASH JustOff/ca-archive to/" (at the bottom of the page you'll find the link to download and install). There, you'll get DownloadThemAll, CoolPreviews, etc. among more than 19,450 (not less!) add-ons.

Alan, Did you right click on the icon, select Properties, and then select Comparability mode? Did that help any, or no?

papin,
Thanks for your comments. In regard to the various forks of FireFox, I've heard that they are not maintained nearly as well as Opera, which seems to have regular -- and stable -- releases. The market shares of these FF forks seem to be negligible. Palemoon apparently suffered a serious data breach in 2019, and it's unclear to what extent it ever recovered from that. And WaterFox got acquired by an advertising / data harvesting company, which can't be good. I sampled that privacy-oriented browser that is developed in India (can't recall the name at the moment), have heard of the Brave browser, and definitely intend to check out Vivaldi.

Gene,

Firefox ESR is a special version made by Mozilla.

Regarding other firefox-alike, I believe Brave is the only one worth trying.

Regarding Palemoon, I've been using the day Mozilla started screwing Firefox, starting with the disappearance of the status bar. I've never had any issue with security, never heard of a breach either. Anyway, if it really had a breach, it is a thing of the past.

I don't ask you to trust me, but security is a real concern to me because I don't use anti-malwares (my only protections are PrivateFirewall and browser extensions).

You really should try Palemoon, at least for the reasons I gave before, and also because your old firefox is definitely out-of-date.

TAYLOR, We are so sorry that currently we no longer support any kind of browser extension.
There is no need to use the extension.
Simply install and run our Allavsoft and copy and paste the video or music url to Allavsoft and click Download button to start and finish the download process

David, That make sence, since Allavsoft Videodownloader and Converter is capeable downloading just about everything. There's lots of freeware extensions. Thanks a lot for the new version.

David, Thank you

F Thomsen, The 1 month license key is $19.99, the 1 year license is $29.99, the lifetime license is $59.99
This giveaway version version is not the latest version. You may also directly download the latest version from our official website and then register with the giveaway license key. The giveaway license key can work on the latest version today. However it limits future updates. Many of the websites has updated, therefore the latest version has updated to support the new change.

David, The giveaway license can work on the giveaway version and also can work on the latest version 3.23.3.7740 on the official website. But it limit future updates. If you do not update, you may use the giveaway version or version 3.23.3.7740 for free for lifetime.
If you prefer the lifetime update license, today we will offer the maximum 70% off discount, that is you only need $18 to get the lifetime update license.

At least one thing has changed:
Now it says, Download success, when it fails...

David,
Doesn't seem to line up with what I'm finding on your index page.
Link for purchase of the $18 lifetime update license ?

Near the top of the GOTD page:

https://secure.avangate.com/order/checkout.php?PRODS=4631056&QTY=1&CART=1&CARD=2&COUPON=Give70%Off

I just bought it and it worked just fine.

F Thomsen, This is a problem of GAOTD and not of the specific software. You download from gaotd. Known problem, just use vpn and its solved.
