Youtube has now started to have ip locking for its videos around March 18 2010. This is on the same lines as being done by some other sites like MegaVideo for Example. Now to allow user download from such sites there are two ways –
- Your Server streams the files to users – This method uses 2x bandwidth and can make most shared hosting servers crawl. Though is more transparent. But as soon as your site becomes popular , high probability your server IP address facing a ban.
- Use supplies supplies source code of vieweing page – Simple and effective , User has to paste source code of page he is viewing. Approach being followed by other grabbers. But unlike other sites i have also attached a bookmarklet which streamlines the whole process to one click.
Update [2010-4-19]
Fixed again 3gp , mp4 , HD support added.
Update [2010-3-31]
Both methods are supported now , use config.php to choose whatever you want.
Download New version here –
FreeDown
PS: This is not a public forum to sell your scripts , you can offer fixes but sale is not allowed.
FreeDown supports both streaming and submit source method now. Stop selling your scripts on my blog.
Patches are welcome/bug reporting are welcome … charging users 10 – 20 USD for 5 lines of code is not.
Is there any chance to download in 3gp formats
Can you tell me what is the meaning of “charging users 10 – 20 USD for 5 lines of code is not.”
What he means is that the scripts on this blog are provided under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Bloggers who come on here with modified/new code to SELL are not wanted.
Thanks for the new code author
hi… i want to choose second method wht should i write in config file … i m bit confused
sorry i found tht … but when i pasted source code it said no video found…could u tell me which source code to fill exactly?
thanks and regards
Please mail me the code you posted.
I also get no video when I post the source code. Thought I would like to just use
$stream = true;
but, instead of trying to download the video, it just downloads a blank stream.php file, while it did download the video before youtube made this change. tube-download.info/test/
well nothing works once again…youtube was updatet again and the source option in here doesnt work, the stream option just gives you the video to watch i couldnt find a way to download
if you want to download the video:
1) “right click” on the video link,
2) then choose “save as” : )
yeah sorry i did something wrong, it works

Hi there,
Just edit a little from the file youtube.php and everything will work well again:
Line 23 from $urls = explode(‘,’,urldecode($matches[1]));
Edit to: $urls = explode(‘,’,$matches[1]);
Thanks, it worked.
Doesnt work for me.
If i make the above change…. I get “No Videos found or site not supported. ” for any youtube link i enter.
Ill update it soon.
What will you update?
Thank you for this this script and for fixing these problems! Great work
So you are still going to work on this as well?
I saw you’re selling java applet so I thought you would quit on this.
