Firefox isn't downloading video pages (like Youtube). It says Download Complete, but the file i

Firefox isn't download video pages for me, specifically those from Youtube.

When I try to get a video, the Download management screen pops up and it immediately says that the .flv file is downloaded to the Desktop, but it hasn't.

It just says Download Complete - When I try to open the file from the download manager, I get Cannot find file...file has been moved, renamed,deleted...etc

BTW, I had updated to 0.7 and then downgraded down to 0.4

No change..

Help!

Firefox isn't downloading video pages (like Youtube). It says Download Complete, but the file is gone.?deleted myspace

i would try the easiest thing is to go for ie for that. here is how to do it

-For Internet Explorer (PC) users-

The easiest way to download youtube video's is to go http://www.ie7pro.com/download-youtube-v... Download the extention for ie7. Go where it says user scripts enable it. Then make sure u check to download from youtube. Now go to youtube and download a video. In the middle right side its going to say download. Hit download and make sure u save it as .flv. And lastly go to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/. This is a .flv and avi player both. Now open up the player and find the place that u saved your .flv to. Its most likely going to be in the my documents folder.

do you have the flv player ?.

Maybe that web site is blocked by some security sw on your PC or on the broader network? Maybe your boss doesn't want you goofing off :)

What happens if you use IE instead of Firefox?

BTW, Firefox is at 2.0.0.7, not 0.7. Are you really using that old of a version? If so, no telling what the security status of your computer is! Hopefully your 0.7 is shorthand for 2.0.0.7!
I think your download history has been disabled.

Go to Options, Privacy and check the status of "Remember what I have downloaded"
It sounds like you are on dial up, I get the same problem. This problem is the same as the reason why on line we can't watch most of the time You Tube videos. They start playing then pause to load some more start again then pause then play a little more then go blank like they are done because it seems they give up on dial up.

I suspect this is happening with downloading them as well, the slow speed we get dropped and so the down loader has no choice but to say complete when there is nothing downloading anymore.
I have a similar problem before. What I did...

1. Change the destination of folder ...

In your firefox, go to Tools%26gt;Options%26gt;Main

Change it to "My Documents"

2. When I download, I choose the option of "Save" instead of "Open"....

that is because "Open" only puts the file on a temporary folder and when you exit the firefox, it is automatically removed.

3. I put a firefox add on called FasterFox Page Download Timer... To monitor my download. Go to mozilla website and search for it.

Hope this helps
