Tube Downloader

If you are more comfortable knowing that your favorite music and videos are stored on your PC, and not on an online platform you actually have no control of, then you definitely need a capable download manager.
Tube Downloader claims to be precisely that since it lends you a hand when trying to download and convert YouTube clips.

Can download YouTube clips in batch mode

First off, let’s take a look at the program’s GUI, which will probably be regarded as approachable by any user out there. Sporting a dark skin, the app looks uncluttered, is easy to figure out, and its structure is suitable for handling multiple files at the same time.
In order to start working with the program, all you need to do is click the plus button in the main window to add the URL you want it to process. A list of all your clips will be shown in the bottom half of the main window, with their corresponding URL, download speed, progress, and status.
Note, however, that the video’s title is not shown at all, which means you need to be extra careful as to which clip you download and which not.

Can convert your videos to MP3

Other than that, you also need to indicate an output location for your files in the pop up you are prompted with once you have clicked the plus button, with the possibility of changing it subsequently in the main window.
Besides, it is worth mentioning that you can decide whether you want to download your YouTube video as an MP4 file or convert it to audio, and more specifically to MP3, with no other option being provided as far as file formats are concerned. Choosing between the lowest and highest quality can be done as well.

Lightweight tool that could use some enhancements

All in all, Tube Downloader could be a handy tool for users on the lookout for an intuitive YouTube downloader and converter. Even though the program proved responsive during our tests, it could definitely use some improvements here and there that would make it feel well put-together.
