2 Suggestions:
1. Add a NON-USA Listing Option, for example allow the user to list downloads in I.S.O 8601 for both Date and Time (ISO being International Standards Organisation) United States of America is less than 5% of the world Population
Meaning Date-Month-Day Hour-Minute-Second as is the option for many File Managers
So Feb 11, 2020 at 22 hours 30 minutes 45 seconds would list in the ALL Downloads ADDED Column as 2020-02-11 22-30-45
That would MAKE FiLE SEARCHiNG, MUCH EASiER FOR NON-AMERiCANS (the majority of people on the planet)
2. If the user decides to move or delete files downloaded with ANTDlM when I reboot I currently get a popup window in the middle of the screen asking something like Re-Download all files OR Re-Download the first 100 files (from Memory) it would be very useful to have a 3rd option DO NOT Re-Download any Files AND a CheckBox to NEVER ASK THESE QUESTiONS AGAiN
Otherwise It is a pretty useful program
I have previously ask you about adding some options that were in the now defunct FlashGet and I understand your reasons why you won't add such options but a MASTER DOWNLOAD LOG or Option to allow individual download Logs would still be very useful.

Peter C1, could you send screenshot of these examples to support@antdownloadmanager.com?
For the best of my understanding, what you see and what you want to see.
Thanks!

I've installed three times with Firefox browser closed and it does not update to the version given away here; I have 1.7.0 from 2017 installed and v.0.2.7 [0.1.6] inside the current version of Firefox...believe it or not, this was a giveaway version also from here awhile back and it works while unfortunately this new one being given away today does not seem to want to update itself.
Do I have to delete the old one myself and if so, why? Today's newer version should override that one and update it on its' own.
I will await a response while I surf elsewhere at this time...thanks, anyway.

Richy, you should uninstall old version and install new one again.
Apparently you have not removed the old version of Firefox extension.
At the request of Firefox, the policy of installing extensions was changed at the end of last year. An important change has been made in our extension. It works in a new way.

The best versatile downloader, full stop and one that I purchased a while back.
Excellent integration, speed of downloads and range of sites supported.
The devs also offers decent support, with their own forum and there are a number of easy to follow videos that explain how to get the best out of the features.
I suspect that many people will think $24.95 being rather expensive though for what they will see as a one trick pony, especially with many freely available download apps and addons available, so I think that a price reduction would tempt more people.

Great programme, second year using without problems. I now use "Brave " browser and glad to get rid of "Chrome". Ant does give you a choice to download mp3 from the video in case you just want to listen to the audio.

ANT Downloader is a good program, with good speed & accuracy, but have used mostly just used as backup downloader only,
Since, after a few years now, it is still very limited in Modern features and options, Not much extra to really stand out in extra video features,
compared to similar programs like this. Program needs at least a few improvements and enhancement options to make it more worthwhile
& make it stand out from the huge selection of even Free video and audio downloaders out currently.
*It really badly needs a video Downloader (Trimmer or slicer option) for all or at least most websites, like similar programs can already do.
with a video trimmer & Crop feature, so we do not have to download entire lengthy videos, makes downloading so much better,
by only getting the parts of videos desired, and not the entire 1-2 hours of junk that comes with entire web videos most times.
Again, good as a basic downloader only, but hope developer can improve with more modern features.
Just my input after using similar products for several years now. Cheers!

I'm happy to see that Ant Dowload Manager also supports closed caption/subtitles on instructional videos.
Works like a charm on a Windows 10 pro and a VM Windows 7.
Supports the new Edge (Chromium) on Window 10 (......and Windows 7)
Take care.

How do you re enable the mini window after you install the firefox extension? It is the very small transparent window with the very small icons at the top. One of them is an eye icon (which I unintentionly clicked).

My questions:
1. Can this be run when needed, and exited when no longer needed, instead of starting with Windows and always being in memory?
2. Will this work without adding a browser extension? I won't run them for security reasons.
Thanks to you or anyone else who can help!

Mr.Dave, Yes for both questions, as far as I discovered!

I have Win 10 Professional and it says that the program doesn't support this version of Windows. Tried as Admin, tried with anti-virus off. The wrapper works fine, it's when I start to install the actual program. So, no bueno for me.

Fred,
Your email was added by you to the block list. Please note that our download letter includes two links - one to download the program and another to unsubscribe from our emails in case you received it accidentally.
Looks like you clicked the wrong one some time before.
Now your email is restored and you should have no problems with getting the download.

So, all i get is a screen that says it's activated, but no program or software to run. What gives.
Save | Cancel
Richard Anderson, do not know for sure in this case but when this has happened to me in the past it is because I did not temporarily suspend my antivirus/security protections before running the activation program.
Save | Cancel
@Richard Anderson: Same problem here. I see a GOTD pop-up saying the program is activated and a GOTD web page opens saying "Ant Download Manager Pro 1.17.1 activated — what next?" but that's it . I'm not prompted to make any choices during setup and there are no Ant folders in Program Files (x86 or 64bit). My results are the same whether or not Avast is disabled. I don't see anything new in the virus chest and don't get any warnings from Avast.

Although I like AntDM. Downloading video from most sites results in AntDM converting the video file after download. This converted version of the file is choppy and jerky and annoying. I've seen this across all versions of AntDM. Why does the video need to be converted after?

Well it downloaded an HD ytube video ok.
Now then, I did custom install and unchecked the install FFMPEG option as I already have it installed, now this downloader complains the decoder is not installed. How do I point it to my installation of FFMPEG?
Thanks.
Good program that seems to work.

Steve,
please reinstall and enable ffmpeg support. ffmpeg is very important settings for video downloading.
Save | Cancel
Steve, Hi,
I checked my"installation made with a previously giveaway:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Download Manager\x32.sys file with
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Download Manager\x32.sys\FFMpeg file which content is:
avcodec-58.dll
avfilter-7.dll
avformat-58.dll
avutil-56.dll
postproc-55.dll
swresample-3.dll
swscale-5.dll
ffmpeg.exe is in another folder (= dossier) not related to Ant. I have 5 copies of ffmpeg.exe (315 kB to 33.8 MB!).
The easiest way for you may probably be to uninstall and than real the whole package...
Save | Cancel
PaulF, Thanks, very helpful unlike the other reply that obviously didn't read this part "as I already have it installed". I did reinstall with FFMPEG selected but your answer would have solved my issue too. Maybe get a job at AntDM on product support.
Thanks again for your very helpful reply.
Save | Cancel
AntDM, ffmpeg is not at all important for video downloading.
Save | Cancel
TK, As I said FFMPEG is not needed to download video, you are talking about combining an audio and video file. I have firefox extensions that download youtube videos without the need for FFMPEG.

Been using Ant Downloader about a year and like it over most of the others downloaders. Downloaded the Browser app from the Google store and it works great on Vivaldi. Had to configure it little a little bit, it was downloading everything from websites. Thanks to Ant Download Manager and GOTD for the offer!

Previous version worked pretty well for me. It is a resident utility, hence eats up some memory.

Same problem as Debra Williams, it says it activated and opens another browser page but there's no new program installed. I unzipped all the files to their own folder, ran set as administrator but it does not install. Windows 8, I went to the developers web page listed and downloaded that version and it did install but it's a 30 day version and needs a registration key. Something wrong with the download/setup here on this one. It happens sometimes, this is the third time recently I've had this happen on this site, too bad looked like a useful program. At least I have the 30 day version for now.
Save | Cancel
Tj Anderson, this is off the cuff because I haven't downloaded this program for myself, but if it's set up at GAOTD with a registration code to enter, have you considered trying to use that registration code with your 30-day version?
Save | Cancel
Tj Anderson, Its the antivirus. See reply to Debra Williams

It only activates but does not install on my computer.

Debra Williams, You will need to disable your anti virus first. After installation you can restart antivirus.
