uDownloader

uDownloader is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping you download videos and save them on the computer for offline viewing, convert the downloaded clips, as well as extract the audio streams.

Intuitive layout

It sports a clean and simple layout that offers only a few configuration settings to tinker with. You are allowed to paste the URL from where you want to download the video in the primary panel or use “drag and drop” operations.

Downloading and conversion options

The program gives you the possibility to activate the automatic downloading option for grabbing clips from the Internet with minimum effort, specify the saving directory, as well as limit the number of maximum simultaneous tasks to a user-defined number.
What’s more, you can perform search operations on YouTube, check related videos, thanks to the built-in web browser, and convert video files or extract the audio streams and export them to PSP, XVID, WMV, AVI, OGG, AC3, AU, AIFF, MP3, and others.
It is important to mention that the tool offers support for batch processing, which means you can add multiple URLs and download the clips at the same time.
Last but not least, you can insert a valid link for the homepage, open the target location directly from the primary panel, as well as play the downloaded files with the aid of a built-in player. During our testing we have noticed that uDownloader carries out the downloading task extremely quickly and without putting a lot of stress on your CPU and memory.

Bottom line

All in all, uDownloader proves to be a handy video downloader that comes packed with a decent feature pack, and is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
