Minitube 2.1.5 has no download option

markc · 2014-02-10 19:07:52

Just installed minitube 2.1.5 x86-64 and there is no download option in the toolbar or anywhere in the menus. Has the ability to download been removed recently or am I simply blind? Has anyone else got a download button?

Downloading violates YT ToS.

Downloading violates YT ToS.

Sure but there are legitimate reasons to do so. My sister has extremely limited and expensive 3G bandwidth so when she comes to my place she downloads all her bookmarked youtube vids in high quality on my cable connection. She has already seen all the advertising by reviewing what she wants to download so I have absolutely no ethical or moral concerns about breaking the ToS... especially so because she uses the resource for permaculture research. I would respect the no-download principle if the original video "owner" demanded it but for the hosting service to deny me saving *MY* data that *I* used to view the video is a PoS.

arojas: thank you for the link as quite a bit of googling showed... nothing. rm minitube
