How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

I'm getting User Account Control dialogs before the 'Rippers run i.e. the Admin Shield is showing. Anyone else getting this? I could change my settings to tell the system to ignore these things but I'm guessing this increases vulnerability to unauthorised/unexpected system changes.

JDownloader2 beta is excellent.

I installed the release (pre the beta you recommended) by mistake, but have the web installer for the beta2.
Despite my aversion to java applications, I will give it a try - though it looks like peer-to-peer (BitTorrent) and will take over an hour to add what look like dubious plugins. My firewall is blocking stuff (Java SE) that wants to use my private networks.

I have used Jdownloader2 with no trouble its mainly for bitlocker sites but will download youtube with no trouble has frequent updates
On another subject I download my ABC iwiew using IDM go to the program find what you require start it after the adverts and IDM (internet download manager)will popup on the top right hand click on the green arrow it gives you a number of options mostly a number of short 15-20 second adverts chose the main file and IDM will down load the file fast ,you can pause the picture whilst it downloads , this also works with SBS but not with the encrypted links

What's wrong? I could access the database in firefox ok (though one time it came up with some error, retrying it a few minutes later fixed it)

I've got the same issue .. manually doing it via FF and the XML file works fine but iviewripper just sits there .. gets up to about 11KB after 10-15mins and then gives and error "failed to load".

Have the latest .net and iviewripper (running Win7 64pro).

I just noticed that Any Video Converter - free has Youtube Download. I've used it to convert vids to good effect, but I'm not a big Youtube user, so can't comment on how well it does this.

I had a similar problem yesterday, which was actually due to a widespread problem that the ISP had (iiNet, Qld to VIC or more).
It cleared up after about 18:30 AEST

Thanks, I will try that. jDownloader is an overkill for me (not that I'm new to running/writing complex software).

Hi guys, I haven't posted here in a while, but I made a simple Greasemonkey userscript for grabbing the video download on iView: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/10...-download-link

It's based on Adammw's chrome extension: https://github.com/adammw/iview-html...rome-extension

BTW, if you're on OSX, a good youtube downloader is iPull: http://ipull.arjones.com/

I would suggest youtube-dl:

https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/

It's totally free and easy to use. Runs on any Unix [Linux, OSX] or Windows system.
