It came in WinZip & said I need buy winzip to get to file. I tried to use evaluation version but it wasn't clickable to work. So I'd haft buy that software in order to open this Fast Video Downloader. Really frustrating & disappointing.

I thought that I would get the full 366 days with the download but it has only given me 171 days which was what I had left with the previous version even though I uninstalled the old version. Disappointed as I like it.

Just like other video downloaders, this downloader does not download private videos from Facebook. So, why is any sort of payment justified for this software, when online video downloaders are a dime a dozen (most of them are free) on the Internet?

Support helped me with the license - 367 Days Left - fast downloads - nice gui - and the Search function works well !

This is a competent downloader, which does support a decent amount of sites.

However, when compared to Ant Download manager, it is slower to download and convert, doesn't have the tight and varied browser integration and does not support as many sites.

I use this as a backup for when ANTDM does not on occasion work as hoped.

It's also way too expensive for what is essentially a one trick pony.

I never received my activation key by email. I sent you an email request for the key to support@fastpctools.com.

NO REGISTRATION CODE IN EMAIL AFTER 2 HOURS

This has been offered several times in the past, including 3 times last year -- thank you FastPCTools and GOTD.

However, I wonder if the behavior in my comment #40 still exists as described on the Feb. 2019 page:

https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/fast-video-downloader-3-1-0-22/

I suspect it still does (but won't know for sure until several days have passed), as after installing it earlier today I examined Task Scheduler and once again found a daily task to launch FastVD_UpdateSchedule which I then set to "Disable".

As before (in February, 2019) this was after un-checking the FVD option to "Start application at startup".

It's possible the effects of accepting an update may be to once again reset FVD to resume launching at startup and to re-enable that scheduled update task. However, since I'm now at the latest version I can't test that today.

Otherwise, I still think it's a good downloader to complement Ant Download Manager and others mentioned here.

Got this same version from a previous giveaway. I tried it on sites other than those listed in the description, and found that in many cases it did the job. I like this product, but even at the discount price offered here, it is too expensive for occasional use. If they would offer a lifetime plan at a fair price, I would be glad to purchase it.

I am supposed to have the activation key by email but nothing is showing.

I have tons of different video download software. Most work great, some work OK. I've been hunting for a LONG time for something that will download videos from the _Movies and Shows_ section of YouTube. I'm not expecting the software to be able to grab the paid content, as that would require being logged into YouTube and to agree to paying for the video, which is not within the capabilities of most of this type of software. What I am looking for is something that can download the "Free to Watch" movies in that section as you don't need to be logged in to view them. This is what I use to test the software's usefulness to me.

I had high hopes for this, and it is yet another video downloader that has failed to grab what I want. I have yet to find a single video downloader that will download a WORKING copy of a movie from the "free to Watch" area of YouTube's Movies and Shows section. Like most other software I have tried, it will download the entire movie without a problem, but only the first 5 seconds of the video can be seen, then after that everything is scrambled.

Does anybody have a suggestion for software that can grab from that section of Youtube that actually works?

Uninstalling, not my cup of tea. :-(

It would not let me register telling me to check internet which is fine.

When I download from Youtube I get two files per video, one with the .webm extension.
VLC can play the file but without sound.
I cannot find any setting to save them as MP4?

For those that only want a Downloader for twitter .. this one always works for me and it's free!

MSTech office home was stated to be available today in the daily email but when I click link in email it is not there. Has it been removed for some reason? Will it be back?

YouTube would be a plus and would make me want this. So, pass.

My previous comment mistakenly went for another program. As for this one, I bought it last year, and renewed it. I have several downloading programs, but I find this is the only one I need! It is hassle-free!

What about subtitles, can we download video's subtitle(s) and if more than one is available; eq English and Spain sub's

Not great. Downloads are hit and miss. The 'paste URL' function doesn't appear to work - you have to search by name. I tried four videos and got a 50% hit rate. Two failed with an 'Error: this video may be inappropriate for some users' message. I know what you're thinking but these were clips from a horror film on YouTube not anything more, err, salacious.
The interface is poor and I the 'best quality' setting doesn't always select the highest resolution.
Finally, why does it have to run in the background?
I think I'll be sticking to 4k Downloader.

It says 1 year License , Mine is only giving me 92 days.

I cannot download, please write the activation code in the comments

Hello, Ive been a member/contributer of this site (as long as I can remember) and I've watch users come and go. The, "did you find this question useful" question has been disscused a few times.

It's amazing to come here at 3 am and see 5 comments and the, can you download Twiter question/post, has 3 no's in the, "did you find this question useful" question.

I used to thank giveawayoftheday.com (shameless plug) the company offering the program and as always, our great members who not only test these giveaway's hard but also, take the time to post the good, the bad and the ugly and I would get -21 no's.

I don't get it, how do questions about a program (not my thanks post) bother someone enough to vote on it.
(Sorry, just kept writing more and more)

curious, whats the difference between this one and internet download manager?

cannot connect to internet message pops up when you input the code emailed to me. Yet I can connect to your site if I click purchase now.
strange that.......Uninstall. This is not a freebie.

Sent off for code. will not accept it. (cannot connect to internet) then freezes.
Tries to update itself again freezes. Funny how the purchase a code takes you to the website ok, yet not register now (no internet connection).
uninstalled it and tried again, same issues.

Keep clear of this one. They are give you a trial for a month or so then pester you daily for money for a full version. Extremely hard to get rid of them off your PC.

I tried to register but the URL
from Readme

"did not match any documents'.
Thank you, Brian

Can you download twitter videos using this?

Installed, and after running, the first thing it did was update itself, but still shows the same version.
If used primarily for YouTube, please note that they do tweak their platform slightly to break third party applications. Ant Downloader which was recently given away has broken due to this. They don't want people simply downloading videos, as they lose ad revenue. Its also worth noting that by simply downloading videos, the uploader loses out on ad revenue too. This can hurt the small uploaders 'just getting by'.
Of note is the lack of conversation of videos to MP3s. Finding music videos or audiobooks is useful, but converting these to MP3s to listen 'offline' is a useful benefit.
EDIT: Looking at the website, this wasn't a feature in this version but after registering the application, this feature is available. Go figure... so ignore whats on their website. Sigh.
The application looks good and clear with an option to download 'best available' videos or HD 1080, HD 720, etc.
When I gave it Spandau Ballet to download, it only gave me the option to download 'Small' (why give me an option to download when there is only one option to select?) but Ant Download Manager found two sizes - 144p and 240p. Unsure which one would be 'Small' as far as this software is concerned. And why did it not find both?
Its also worth noting this software is only for a year. Seems most software is like this now. Gone are the days where you purchased software and it was yours.
Ant Download Manager gives clearer 'feedback' on what you're actually downloading, and is slightly cheaper, and of course, there are loads of other alternatives, including online downloaders.

Great downloader from a past GOTD but I did not register it. It is an unregistered version. If I download a License from the enclosed link will it make it a Trial Copy Program as I already have this version on my computer from a previous GAOD? It is a Trial Copy but not registered. It asks me to Register?

Can it download from m3u8 streaming? I am currently using Eagleget but it does not have that option.
