This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.

Thanks Fred, I tried to download this link https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6x8urs It only downloaded 153kb and no video at all. Opening downloaded file just opens a blank firefox page with this in search/address bar file:///C:/Users/attur/Downloads/x6x8urs.html Cheers,

Further, it works on Youtube, but not video movie sites, Downloads in Firefox HTML Document. I downloaded the Firefox browser Free Download Manager Extension and this does not help at all, Does not load. I made sure it was from correct site, freedownloadmanager.org

Thanks Ivan, I already have had that recommended. My posts above show for me it only works on Youtube. Movies end up as 153kb Firefox HTML document.

Thanks Fred, video fails to download using Free Daily Motion Download. As soon as i enter link, message appears saying video download error. I followed help instructions, such as disable firewall (not happy about that) but still same result.
