Download Helper Extension

I had great success in downloading content from video portals using the excellent Grab++ application that is part of Orbit Downloader. That is, until I came to a website that did not allow me to download the videos even though Grab++ was running. To explain it a bit further, Grab++ is observing the Internet traffic and lists links that meet certain criteria such as videos.

I began my research and stumbled upon the Firefox extension Download Helper which supports lots of sites, several hundred would be my estimation. The site list is divided into normal video sites and adult video sites. The process however is the same.

Once you install Download Helper it will add a icon in one of your toolbars. If you can’t find the icon you need to right-click a toolbar and select customize from that menu. Then drag and drop the icon to one of your toolbars.
