Download Youtube videos with JDownloader

What this ancient program does is, thanks to its link grabber, it recognizes the video from the Youtube url, for this:

1. We open the JDownloader. If you don’t have it, we recommend you download it from its official website.
2. We copy the url of the video we want to download. We do not complicate ourselves and select the one that appears in our browser.
3. In the JDownloader link grabber we will see a series of files, this is because the program tracks both the thumbnails and the text files it finds on the page.
4. We select the link that we want to download and right click and we choose “Add and start downloads«.
5. If you don’t have all the video or audio codecs, it is possible that the program asks you to update or install something and then restarts. Do not worry as the link will be saved in the program when it reopens.
6. Note that you will be left with a second window asking if you want to close the program, if you do not accept the update it will remain as “stuck” and you will not be able to finish it.
7. As soon as you open the program, the download will start and when it is finished, it will notify you with a pop-up window.
8. If you do not remember where you download the files, there is the possibility of opening the folder from the program itself, clicking with the right button and clicking on «open folder» once the download is complete.
9. It will open for us Windows Explorer or the one that uses your operating system (since it is a multiplatform software) and you will be able to enjoy the youtube video quietly.
