This has an annoying/nasty habit of resetting the choice made for Options > Settings > Start application at startup.

I haven't yet found the scheduled task (or other startup item) where this must be getting reset, but it seems to occur about every week or so, after a restart.

That is, if a few days (a week?) have elapsed since logging into my PC user account, then upon performing a restart (or power off/on cycle) and once again logging into the PC user account (or maybe it happens if I simply log off then back in?), it

1)automatically launches the browser to their "purchase" page (sometimes I don't want the browser launched at all if I'm trying to diagnose/deal with another Windows issue),
2) launches Fast Video Downloader itself,
3) changes my options choice by rechecking the box again for "Start application at startup", and
4) placing a fresh "Fast Video Downloader" icon on the Desktop (yet again).

I'd much rather it not do these insistent things. It makes me wonder what the behavior would be if I had purchased the product. Would it periodically auto-launch to advertise other products or services? I find it discouraging.

I will say that performance-wise it has helped download some website videos, others not at all (about par as compared with other applications in my experience; hence, I have several to choose from), so "thanks!".

It says here free application updates, but once updated, it turns to trial. It also keeps adding itself to startup even after disabled.

(This page may have changed since yesterday -- I can't recall if it listed a special GOTD-only purchase price.)

If purchased during this GOTD offer period, is there any special pricing?

If purchased, what is the duration of the license (or would it be a time-limited "subscription")?

During the duration of the license, would it include all major updates, or only minor updates, or possibly lifetime updates?

Thanks, GOTD & Fast PC Tools, for this nice offer... and for extending it another day!

re #36 Don't know why but switching from Firefox to Opera still using the same URL did the trick and got me to the webpage. When the webpage was displayed I noticed that Opera had chopped off "?promo=gotd" (the last 11 characters) from the URL.

Anyone else having problems accessing the "registration code" page? I just get a blank page with the browser noting in top left corner "Connecting" but it never does. I can access the main webpage though.

Thanks for program.

Tried a short video from my Twitter feed. It downloaded it, but the quality of the video is poor. The picture breaks up or stops in places.

Any tips on how to improve the quality of a Twitter video?

Fast PC Tools, thank you for a very nice tool to use for a period of time. Registration turnaround time was quick, as was my test download. Once those supplemental files are downloaded (for conversion) the downloaded YT audio & video files are smoothly joined automatically.

The only gripe is that list windows are pretty cramped. For example, the downloaded list is in a small window and the resizable columns won't expand/scroll beyond the window, making it impossible to read the entire text. Very frustrating, but overall it's a nice app to have!

Not free trys to get you to buy at a discount.

I almost did not download it because I have Youtubedownloader that was still working a few weeks ago. However, I am so glad I did download it because Youtube Downloader (YTD) does not work on Youtube anymore even with the update I downloaded tonight to see if it still works.

Fast Video Downloader does work on Youtube and does a pretty decent job. A keeper. I hope they do offer it again before the 367 days are over.

Does this work with Amazon Prime videos ? Easy to use ?

I received the registration code via email in about 3 seconds. No problem at all inserting that into the registration box; it immediately listed it as registered. (And no issues with my anti-virus program.) (I'm Win7Pro x64)
NOTE: This giveaway program is valid for 366 days only. One nice touch is that it shows on the main program how many days are left.

downloaded, but how do I get the registration key???

I keep getting" invalid key" after manually entering the key because copy and paste does not work. Why?

Can't get the free registration number with the link:

https://www.fastpctools.com/fvd/giveaway.html?promo=gotd

I entered a valid email but the 'next' button does'nt work.....

I used the previous version and it did an excellent job. Very easy to use, has all the right features. Recommended.

Using Windows 7 64 bit
Downloaded problems as it was flagged by my anti virus as a virus and did not have right permissions to access file.

Went to properties changed permissions to administrator and still a no go.
Went to actual website and downloaded their copy and same results.
Finally Turn off anti virus and download went fine and installed ok the file from their website.

Upon install it did a update and i used reg code given it activated ok. The Reg Code came very fast in the email.
Tried 2 downloads right away from YouTube and all went well and download quality was superb!

Just out of curiosity I went to a movie site that i have an account for and thought i would give this program a whirl there and to my surprise it actually started to download the movie files off that site. and just to be clear the site is not NetFlix it is another.

The downloads off of Youtube were both 600 and 500 meg files both downloded and converted in a very fast time and each file was approx a 2 and 3 hr file to watch.

The Movie file Downloaded 1.7 gig file and the quality was great! I am very impressed and will be able to make a nice Digital Movie Collection To Bad the License is only for a year.

Thanks GOTD and Fast PC TOOLS for todays Software

I agree with Dave... I downloaded it and installed and it would not even launch/start... I got the registration code but what good would it do me if I can't get the program to run... maybe this doesn't run on 32 bit Windows 7???

If you want to know my wishlist, it's this: When I click the close button, I expect a program to close, not minimize with an icon in the notification area running in the background. You should at minimum make this a setting that can be turned off. Also, I don't know why I had so much trouble pasting the reg number in, bu 4 times when I clicked the register button, the last group of numbers disappeared and I got a invalid number message, For whatever reason, the 5th time it let me register. I'm using Win 8.

Installed, got the code. It’s stuck on checking for updates, and won’t let me do anything.

Downloaded, installed, and registered without a hitch. Then downloaded two 90-minute videos from YouTube in about a minute each. This is a keeper!

It could do without the added filename suffix, with no way of turning that off. Pretty annoying having to rename everything once downloaded.
Otherwise, a pretty good program.

Now working: key received.

Adds an annoying suffix "-Downloaded by FastPCTools.com" to the end of the every filename of the video you download. Can't see an option to turn off that annoying 'feature' off.

Just to endorse Mary's comments and it worked fine for me at Dailymotion.

Works well with several sites including facebook, but I do not know why it's impossible to download a Youtube video. Each time I have an error message "Error input string was not in correct format .." When I use Youtube byclick with the same address no error, the download is done correctly.

Awesome! Downloaded quickly, registration key was sent almost instantly, worked fine on a YouTube video just now. This looks very useful, thanks for the software!

I entered my email address via the Purchase link and nothing was sent to me. Tried several times. No key.

I can mimic others.....almost immediate receipt of registration code. As usual look at the readme.txt file for instructions. Quick installation and update. Have not tried on YouTube but in case I run into trouble or it stops working down the road I can always use MovieJack application. Did follow suggestions mentioned and adjusted settings not to start with windows and not check for updates. Using on Windows 10 64 bit.

This did not work for me. It installed easily, but did not run properly. It wanted to update and do a complete install routine each time it started. Tried to uninstall using Window's settings/control panel uninstaller, but tray icon remained even after reboot and slowed the system through frequent updates. May need to backtrack using Windows restore points, but would like a reliable uninstaller for this program.

Excellent program. Installed and registered perfectly on Windows 7 Home Pro 64 bit. I d/'d a few videos from different sources, and they're high quality. I'll give it a work out and probably buy the license. The installation and registering process didn't take 5 minutes. This is the way to do it. Thanks so much, GOTD.

checking for update,no chance to enter key

Why won't it start???????

Downloaded and got key as instructed but program won't start?
