Just Right-Click the link and Download. That's it! When the File-Download Dialog Opens, Right Click > Paste or just press CTRL+V for the filename. :)

TO DOWNLOAD:

DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE FILE - HACK NOW

Simple Things Matters... :)

Summary: :)

1. The current version adds a Context Menu To Internet Explorer (IE)and makes it possible to download the youtube video easily. Firefox will be supported on the next version.

2. Intelligent Enough to know the youtube link and file name: You don't need to know the format of the link and go to a website to download the video. Also, it will automatically copy the title to clipboard as it's filename. So, when it asks for a filename just press CTRL+V.

3. Optimize by design: The program doesn't stick anything that makes your computer unstable and it doesn't run on a background.

4. Mostly, The most important thing for all the Geeks, there's a link that will teach everybody on how to get the youtube link manually.

5. The main problem that I encountered in several applications, when the program was corrupted due to unknown reasons. It's difficult for a casual user to clean the context menu. In this program there's an option to remove the Right-Click (Context Menu) option in Internet Explorer.

NOTE: If you did not log-off and log-in after opening the program for the first time.

you'll get this IE Security message.

If you want to delete the program, First, UNCLICK the option Context Menu (Right-Click Menu in Internet Explorer)

and delete the folder/files. That's it.

The Design:

By default, the 19.5kb program called YTH-light gets the youtube link and download the video. It is a command line application that was optimize by design, meaning as simple as possible:

1. Get the youtube link

2. Launch the Download Command and terminate the application

It uses any web browser as a downloader (Internet Explorer, Firefox or any) which is more stable. Also, it can be automatically downloaded through any File downloader or Download Accelerator for faster download.

If you want the GUI application, there's an option to choose. So, there are plenty of ways to download the video file.

Wow... This is the first time that I publish a software that I have no time to submit to

Downloading Websites... and the news SPREAD very quickly to the WORLD.

thanks guys for supporting me from the start and please help me to share it to others...

ENJOY! :D

The program DOESN'T STICK ANYTHING. except for the Context Menu thing... Of Course. :)

Maybe that's why publishers love it.

Ok, I'm going to update the program as soon as possible.

I receive many suggestion about the program. (new .mp4 but only few videos)

I'm going to update the program so that it can analyze, to download the high-quality videos.

In version 1.1

Anyway, Thanks guys... :)

<snip>

I found it on a warez site whilst googling.

Either your telling whoppers, or someone from here has posted it there, or I don't know, if you want the link pm me Larry.

Edited by PureLegend
there's no need to quote so much

Really? I'm sorry Larry but I don't know that...

Anyway, To all the users that like the program... thanks!

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to know that the youtube video has a

high resolution format or not. I hope I can unlock it and hopefully,

It will be added in the next version.

Again, Thanks guys... Any program will not be successful without the help of

the users... It's like, Pay it forward thing.

For example, If I help somebody in his problem about computer... Instead of paying me or something,

I'll ask him to share my programs to others but If he'll not do it. it's fine...

not to all videos....since when were hacks allowed on neowin

Hey Maybe it depends on a hack. If a hack will not benefit all of us. No way it will be allowed.

But if the hack is for the good... why not?

After the HQ video hack was posted via comment. A guy created a youtube video then

how many previews? 1million+++

Wow... because youtube users likes the hack.

Anyway i'm not the one who hack the HQ video here:

Because of him tons of downloaders and websites follow.

Recently, I unlock how to automatically knows if the youtube has a HQ Video quality that is allowed to view by youtube.com.

So the next version is intelligent enough to know if it is beneficial for the user to download the HQ or not.

the logic is like this... "Do you have an HQ my friend? mmm... let me think. Yes I have. Do you want to download it or not?"

Please give some suggestion if it rocks or not. :)

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
