    I am asking this because I saw their latest update on their homepage was on the New Year of 2009, while YouTube updated its platform last summer.

    Nevertheless, I still think FDM consists of not-so-useful features. IMO, IDM becomes very popular because the developer (Tonec, Inc.) manages to focus in and fully develops the essential features of any download manager should have, which are downloading files from major web protocols and flash videos from any social video sharing sites.
    Well, If you are unable to download youtube videos with FDM, it may be related to some AV or your Firewall setting which may be blocking it. I am using FDM for long including today and it downloads Videos on the fly without any issues.

    Regarding IDM, yes its a great download manager but you need to spend ~25$ for using it and if you can spend that amount, you should use IDM.

    If you want a free one, I think FDM does a great job. Regarding you being unlucky, there is nothing like LUCK I believe in when it comes to computing. Have a look at your AV or firewall settings and it may result in better luck with FDM for you.

    Well, I would call it to be unlucky if I required to download files immediately but the destination server happened to be down.

    I don't know if there was something wrong with my AV or Firewall that related to FDM at the time but I managed to download the video with another downloader.

    PS:- Call me Avinash instead of Sir.
    Ha..ha... I have tried that too but it is always fruitless. No respond from their support team at all. Aside from 30 licenses of IDM giveaway officially sponsored by Tonec at the end of 2009, I presume the bloggers who have hosted contests till now bought the licenses with their own money.

    Pardon me for bringing up the following. I realize we were supposed to be discussing about free download manager but since we have been mentioning a litle and much about IDM, allow me to inform that there is a way to obtain free license of IDM. Tonec, Inc. will reward anyone who is willing to translate IDM into any native languages with up to two serial numbers. Go if you are interested.

    Just a local blog aimed for domestic visitors. You won't understand what I write as it is not in English.
