| 1162938 | 2010-12-18 00:55:00 | For example, trying to download this Youtube downloader plugin, addons.mozilla.org It won't work if I try directly, but works perfectly if I download through Megaproxy. I'm on Telecom - anyone else getting problems like this? |

| 1162939 | 2010-12-18 01:15:00 | Yep, one in particular, Adblock Plus --- Errors every time - tried manually updating it as well, but nope. There was one other, failed 4 times in a row, then a day or so later went OK, cant remember what it was though. Have you tried Web Video Downloader (http://www.web-video-downloader.com/) - from Sothink. |

| 1162940 | 2010-12-18 01:25:00 | Try opera 11. Since its now final. And it supports extensions. It might do a better job. If you want to block ads use adsweep (the noads extn is crap, it does zilch). I got rid of FF 2-3 weeks ago. It doesnt work properly with some sites, inc this site. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1162941 | 2010-12-18 01:35:00 | Yeah this isn't really about the browser itself, rather why I can't download the file without using a proxy site such as Megaproxy. I can't even download the file with Wget, for example: agent24@INTEL3333:~$ wget addons.mozilla.org --2010-12-18 14:34:22-- addons.mozilla.org Resolving addons.mozilla.org... 63.245.209.91, 63.245.209.91, 63.245.209.91 Connecting to addons.mozilla.org|63.245.209.91|:443... connected.

| 1162942 | 2010-12-18 01:51:00 | Only way to fix that dont use the proxy. Cant do much if it blocks it. Can you add urls to it? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1162943 | 2010-12-18 02:17:00 | Uhh... can you please actually read my posts before you reply to them? It only works WITH the proxy. |

| 1162945 | 2010-12-18 02:45:00 | Give the One I tried in #2 a shot - it doesn't need a proxy and it will grab video clips from just about any site, not just youtube. Something a bit "strange" happening if you have to use a proxy for downloading with the plug in -- I assume during normal surfing, downloads, you are not having to use any proxy ? Edited: Just installed that down loader as you linked into FF and it worked perfectly on Youtube only-- Its not the program that's faulty, there is some setting/restrictions on your PC by the looks. |

I don't need to use a proxy to download the video, I had to use the proxy to get the add-on to actually install! There is definitely something wrong with the PC or my Internet connection. |

| 1162947 | 2010-12-18 03:44:00 | Can you try clicking on the following link, see if it opens http://www.yourvideofile.com/ Its the designers web site for that plugin. Just noticed that the link you posted has the address https normally which means a secure site (the s Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). Do you have any problems going to other https sites ? if so the security may be a bit to tight, or something is blocking them. |
