I used this software because it is compatible with my Windows 7 operating system and it has an easy user interface that makes downloading easier. It's also really fast. The only thing i didn't like about this program was that sometimes when you try to open the downloaded file, it doesn't work properly (it will crash). This could be fixed if they made some updates but the speed of the internet connection should not affect the performance of such programs. If your computer or network have slow speeds then there are better alternatives out there so please don't waste time trying to solve this problem. I downloaded tons of videos in order to watch them later offline without having any issues at all.
