Easy trick to download from Youtube - No plugin/extension

Easy trick to download from Youtube - No plugin/extension


I download a lot from youtube (Thank you youtube for being there for us). There are lots and lots of extensions and plugins to help you with download. I used to use the IDM plugin (everyone loves IDM! ), but then suddenly IDM integration started having problems with both Firefox and Chrome. I needed something better. Then I found about this trick. 

It is SIMPLE. Just add 'ss' before any youtube link and press 'Enter' or 'Go' or anything as such. This will lead you to a next website where you can download. The best part is it will offer you a list of quality options, thus giving you choice of quality and size. I usually pick webM 360p which is decent quality and not very large size. 

KEEP READING.

Here's a problem that I faced in the beginning. When I press 'DOWNLOAD', the download began using the browser's default downloader. Yes, that's a problem, because it is slow. We all know that. I wanted it to start with IDM obviously.

The download would sometime start with both the browser's downloader and IDM. Then, I had a idea from my experience as a developer. :D

>Cancel the browser's download.
>'Right-click' on the download button 
> Copy the link address
> Open IDM.
> Click 'Add url'
> Paste the url (CTRL + V)
> Click 'OK'

There you go.

TIP: Don't click 'Start download'. I don't know if I am right or I am just feeling it. I feel like when I start the download, the download takes all the bandwidth and I can't browse a single page. Of course this won't happen if you have a very awesome internet. So I don't start the download immediately, but the download is happening in the background. Then, when I feel like the download MIGHT have finished, I hit the 'Start download' button and voilĂ .

PS: I understand this is a much hassle compared to a 'one-click-download' extension. But that's a choice you have to make. Extensions/plugins tend to make your browsers slow. :)

Please let me know if you don't understand or have troubles.

CHEERS!

Timi Uta Ma Yeta (Sunsaan Raat Ma) Guitar Chords - Pratik Gurung Cover - Original by Milan Newar, Rajan Raj Shiwakoti

 I came across this song when Kanden Limbu sang this in Nepal Idol.  He was one of the contestants. I thought it was his original. Surprisingly, it is not. His was based on Pratik Gurung's cover. This is actually a full fledge song with a music video. Here's the original one. However, I like the cover version. Here are the chords for a portion of the song. The chords are based on this tutorial . In the tutorial, plucking is used. You can strum as well if that's what you prefer.  CAPO: 2nd fret STRUMMING: D-DU Plucking used: 5-2-3 (C and Am), 4-2-3 (FT and GT), 6-2-3 (G) Chords: C, Am, G Major, F Major Triad (FT), G Major Triad (GT) NOTE: It's easier if you play G Major in C's original position; just move 2 and 3 fingers one step up.   C                             Am (Sunsan raat ma yo mero aatma FT               GT    C Chasakka bijheko mayalu C                             Am Timlai nai samjhi ma ruda ruda FT       GT   C Sirani bhijheko ) x 2 C
