I use an addon in firefox to download youtube videos.The videos are downloaded by firefox downloader even though I have a seperate download manager. Because of this the download is terribly slow.What should be done to transfer the download to my download manager?

Remove that addon

and download via IDM or Orbit or Jdownloader or the downloader you have

+1 for Internet Download Manager, Ease of downloading Youtube Videos

^^ I like IDM too.. But guess they give just a free trial.
Is there any other free downloader thats similar to IDM. The FF addons, in general, work only for Youtube. What about videos on other sites?

My IDM trial expired too, yesterday. And I dont know how I would be able to d/w videos on other sites.
But for downloading youtube videos, no s/w is better than youtubedownloaderhd.

Orbit Downloader integrates really well into Firefox 4. Ideal to download youtube videos.
