Nice to know it lets you pick a specific one but I still like |
| 40 |
downloadhelper. I don't use commandline for much other than updating |
| 41 |
and few other things that are command line only. I use Seamonkey for my |
| 42 |
web browser. It works and kind of got used to it this way. With |
| 43 |
downloadhelper, I just click, tell it where to store the video and off |
| 44 |
it goes. |
