posted 7 years agoCould you please contact with more details to our support at support@ant.com - Rated 1 out of 5by jagman, 7 years agoWHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE BEST VIDEO DOWNLOAD ADD-ON? Firefox version 60 and ANT is TERRIBLE. Before, you "played" a video, the ANT icon "moved" telling you it found it, was ready to download, it gave you several size/resolution options and you choose one and wallah, it appeared in the DOWNLOAD WINDOW. By using PREFERENCE YOU COULD change the DOWNLOAD location and do this in seconds.
The new one in version is CLUTTERED, NO preference option I could find, no LOCATION OPTION, pages of "stuff", WILL NOT ALLOW TO DOWN LOAD MORE THAN ONE COPY, let alone more than one SIZE for one to check download difference in resolutions to see which to keep, deciding on resolution versus size of file....
I have fooled with it for an hour and STILL can not get the hang of this TERRIBLE, UNNEEDED COMPLICATED MODIFICATION. BAD, BAD, BAD, you really screwed it up this time. THANKS for nothing.Developer response

Current AVD still have option for changing location at the AVD tab under the Downloads section as far as option to select all detected video resolutions.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14021692, 7 years agoThe older Ant Downloader was the bomb so to speak. It had the downloader symbol on my toolbar. And I would click it and it would download and show my windows download icon downloading the file. The newer version, brings you to a page and when you find the file to download it, good luck on finding it, after it says it downloaded it. This new version is basically shit! I know that you had to update it to work with new versions or Firefox, but this new one is pure crap! I used to brag on your downloader and sent many people to your site to get it. But now I hate it. I have been trying it for months one end, and have had to reluctantly download another video downloader, because this one is now junk!

In order to download streaming videos you need to install native application.
Would you like to install it now?" I then DL said app, & install & refresh page where I wanna DL an video, & it still continues to endlessly give me the above msg. It just goes in circles & never accomplishes anything! It USED to work in older versions of the browser, but sadly no long does in newer versions for unknown reasons! Fix this already, would you guys?!Developer response

It drives me nuts. About half the time, it only downloads the title, and an empty file. sometimes, I can go back, and download the file. sometimes, if I try three or four times, it will find files to download. It seems to be completely random. I hate it.

Install it to enable streaming video downloads." It then links to an MSI file which is useless for non-Windows users.
Also, "Detected videos" says "There are no detected videos."
Useless plugin.Developer response
