How to Download YouTube Videos with Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.33

====================================================================================================

Introduction

----------

Internet Download Manager (IDM), formerly known as GetRight and later as Speed Download Accelerator, is a popular shareware download manager software application that can be used to increase the speed of downloading files from various websites, including YouTube.

In this article, we will guide you through the process of downloading videos from YouTube using IDM 6.33 on Windows operating systems.

Prerequisites

----------

1. Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for running IDM.

2. Download and install Internet Explorer (IE) or any other web browser compatible with IDM if not already installed.

3. Install Flash Player, RealPlayer, or QuickTime depending upon the video format you want to download from YouTube.

Step 1: Enable IDM Extensions in Your Browser

----------------------------------------------

1. Launch your default internet browser like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer (IE).

2. Click on Tools and then select Manage Add-ons.

3. In the new window that opens up, look for 'Internet Download Manager' under Toolbars & extensions.

For IE:

* Select 'Enable'

* Restart your system if prompted

Alternatively,

1. Go to Options or Preferences depending upon your browser version

2. Click on Advanced tab/panel

3. Under 'Network', select 'Use the same proxy settings as my default Internet connection'

Step 2: Launch YouTube and Play the Video in IDM

--------------------------------------------------------------

1. Open a new instance of your web browser (preferably IE or Chrome) if it's not already running.

2. Go to 'www.youtube.com'(http://www.youtube.com).

3. Find the video you want to download from YouTube by searching for its title, description, etc., and click on 'Watch Now'.

4. The video will start playing in your default media player or browser.

Step 3: Click 'Download' Button

--------------------------

1. Once the video has started buffering up until about two minutes into it when suddenly stops at around this point due to IDM's functionality kicking in:

* A small blue circle icon with an arrow pointing downwards should appear near each available quality option below 'More'

* Hover your mouse over any one of these options; a yellowish-green colored 'Download' button will be visible next to it

Step 4: Select the Video Quality and Download

-----------------------------------------------

1. Click on the desired video resolution (e.g., HD, SD) from the available choices.

2. A new window titled 'Save As' or similar might appear asking for a location where you want to save your downloaded file(s). Choose an appropriate folder and click 'Save'.

Tips & Troubleshooting

----------------------

- If IDM doesn't automatically start downloading when you play back YouTube videos, make sure that the extension is enabled in Internet Options (IE) > Tools > Manage Add-ons or browser extensions management panel.

- For smoother downloads without any issues, consider increasing your maximum number of connections under Settings > Connections within IDM itself. Higher values may lead to increased resource usage though.

-------

By following these steps carefully and ensuring that all necessary prerequisites are met beforehand (mainly having Flash Player installed), users should be able to successfully download YouTube videos using Internet Download Manager 6.33 on Windows operating systems without any major problems encountered along the way!
