try YTD (You tube downloader)

YouTube Downloader - Software to download and convert YouTube video

Just use the extension for Firefox and it would add Download button in Firefox while you watch that video. :)

Use Maxthon browser.
You will have a default Download button, that will popup while you watch that video.

Use Orbit downloader - it has something called grab++ which I have found to be always working on all video sites..

I used Atube Catcher long ago, but now I use IDM.....Both are good............ A particular version of IDM was not working, true but as of now, for me Version 6.12 Build 22 is working perfectly fine........ Another workaround is using firefox instead of chrome, I have seen it working better with IDM

The video OP posted is restricted and I don't think any software/extension could download them. Didn't our member tkin post a method for these kinds, or am I forgetting something?
