Yeah, I updated the software on the auto prompt and have now lost the registration key. :(

A Ranjan, Udemy recently updated, currently you may use the Record option of Allavsoft.

Yes, it does them all and has replaced two other tools. Very fast. No muss and no fuss.

Morgan Pierce , Thank you so much for your comment and support.

leesyloo_au, You may test it on another computer.

chuffin, oops spoke too soon it is trying to accomplish the task now.
failed at 50%..i will try again

chuffin, eventually it worked.Not as smoothly as other progs have but usable

chuffin, Yes it can download from youtube to mp3, mp4, mov, avi, wmv, wma, aiff, flac etc format.

Terry, Thank you so much for your review. The latest version usually either supports more websites or fixes the website update issue.

Jocko Johnson, If you do not check before Automatically Convert to, it will download the original source file.
If you prefer other setting, you may set it before the downloading.

Greg, Have you installed any anti virus software which may prevent installation.

Peter,
>"...as I'm about to register I noted the small print that says this is strictly a trial version."
That should be the case BEFORE registering. Try registering and see if it remains a trial.

Peter, You may need to register with the license key to make it a full version.

K, You may find the license code in the readme.txt file.
You may set your name as the License name

It is a good video downloader. I think it is better than Ant downloader.

casedistorted, both were have pros & cons. AntDM were basically download accelerator (much like IDM) with additional stuff like torrenting and built-in converters after download, so in terms speed AntDM technically more speedy. But Allavsoft have basic media editing like file converters, merge, and gives more in websites support than AntDM, in additions support of some streaming devices, even sometimes revert back by using youtube as sources (directly or using bundled youtube-dl).

casedistorted, there are many youtube downloaders out there a lot are completely free or donateware most are based upon the public domain youtube_dl.exe or equivalent set of python scripts the key thing is whether the youtube_dl.exe engine integration has been designed to use the youtube_dl.exe -U self update check and rights management to allow the engine to self update or if that requires the end user to obtain a new complete update of the program dust to obtain a current version of the freely available youtube_dl.exe program. SOME of these downloaders self update automatically and do not require reinstallation other like allavsoft does not out of the box. It is possible to create a shortcut or batch file to manually make the youtube_dl.exe file in the install folder self update when needed but it's not built in. Allavsoft also does not provide any significant control over which media files of the files on offer by youtube servers will be downloaded with just generic text description of a preference but no actual control. can't choose mp4 over webm! AntDM is much more granular in choice of exact file(s) to download from youtube but it is possible because it does not use the public domain youtube_dl project for youtube downloading that it will require waiting for a new giveaway or paying for an update if their currently installed youtube engine becomes incompatible with any changes that google/youtube apply to their service to try and foil commercial unauthorised youtube downloaders like these.

casedistorted, I prefer to use Allavsoft. It is easy to use and supports many video and music websites and can download the media files to MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, MKV, MP3, WMA, M4A, FLAC, WAV etc format.

OldGuy, I am able to download from Spotify no problem with this

OldGuy, Yes, this version support Spotify, Soundcloud, etc music website sites.

Mustafa Ciftcioglu, Extension is no longer supported, you may simply copy and paste the video/music link or playlist link to Allavsoft and click Download button. You may also copy and paste multiple ones at the same time.

FelixC, Thank you so much for your review

Joseph , Hard to tell. I have MBAM Premium as well, but I got no such thing. I even checked the exe at VirusTotal, and none of the av motors flagged the file negative.

Joseph , read the report... it is malware bytes heuristics engine that made that guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_analysis It is not an actual detection of an in the wild known infection by pattern matching. It is a false positive guess.

Joseph , Our Allavsoft is safe to use, and there is no virus in it. We have served our customers more than 7 years.

If it is reported as Malware. Please contact your anti virus software to let them manually test our product.

It is a false positive.
Everytime we update our Allavsoft, it will be reported by some of the
anti virus software. After some time, when it is not newly updated, the report will automatically disappear.

Joseph , I do not have Malwarebytes but do have 2 PCs & a Mac (each with an antivirus program by a different company.) I did a virus scan on both setup files on the three computers & no issues were reported.

I am NOT saying there is not something hidden away but tried several internet searches prior to downloading this app with the only page listing an issue with VDProxy.dll was this page.

Joseph , I also have MBAM Premium and it didn't complain...

Gerald, Yes it is, in fact it support many websites. Thank you so much for your review.

Nektar, Thank you so much for your purchase and review.

Ralf Bendisk, Allavsoft also works great to download from many video, movie and music websites.

Ralf Bendisk, BitTorrent is a different thing to this tho, depends what you want to do and your feeling of acceptable legal risk.

David, Ares 2.5.7.3088, can also download all kinds of programs and much more.

Ralf Bendiks,Ares is not a file downloader it is a peer 2 peer file sharing client using the bittorrent protocols, you are comparing apples with golf balls.

TK,
Yes, peer 2 peer opens several cans of worms: in itself a red flag with many ISPs, so a good idea to also employ a good VPN if venturing down that route; various security issues. For torrents, I much prefer a couple of the intermediary services, which fetch and store such content for you -- no direct, real-time connection with your computer, retrieve it from the intermediary at your convenience. (Offcloud being one, and seems to be pretty good, currently sampling Linksnappy. These are also offer some multi-hoster content access, though results with that can vary quite a bit. And some filehosts are blocked in certain countries.)
