Very nice downloader. Very nice GUI, very intuitive.
Do I like the fact it has a system service? No. Does a small system service really hurt anything? No, not enough to downgrade this great free software.

I will give this a ONE until they explain what exactly "FreemakeUtilsService" is and why it installs as a service on my computer and runs in the background at all times. It is installed silently, without user permission or interaction, and without notice of any kind.

The firefox plugin is non-functional. Simply does nothing. The main app works, sort of, but is kluge-y and often fails to download the video. It has trouble resolving the various redirects and other stratagems that the video hosting sites employ. Which is what an app like this is supposed to do; isn't that the point?
BTW, Dan-003, is a shill for the company. BetaNews ought to have a way for legit reviewers to flag potential company shills and have their reviews removed.
