DownloadHelper Rave

I'm a big fan of Mozilla FireFox. I think it's so much better than Internet Explorer for a few reasons. It's faster, it's safer and it's free. It's basically identical in most regards as far as functionality, so those 3 points are what tips the scale.

I downloaded a plug-in or Add-on for it called DownloadHelper. This actually might even be available and usable for Internet Explorer. I wish I could say for sure, but I've never really downloaded any add-ons for IE.

I've been stuck using dial-up internet recently and it's killing me. I like to watch videos online. MySpace, YouTube and even some porn downloads. :) But being on dial-up, I feel like I've wasted a large portion of my life to watch a single video. In order to watch them with dial-up, you have to get the download started, then pause the video until it downloads the entire thing. If you don't pause it, you run into a buffer under run.

With DownloadHelper, however, I can download the entire video...even from YouTube... and save it on my computer in the same amount of time it would be to watch it. If I don't like the video, I can later delete it. If I do like it, I can keep it on my computer forever. Now I can finally be sure that I can keep those treasured videos that I find of my favorite band that have been posted on the internet. So, whoever it was that programmed DownloadHelper...Thank You!
