Can anyone suggest me some good youtube video downloading applications for windows PC ?
I want to just give list of all youtube links and may be specify the quality (like 360p etc) and it will download the videos one after the other.
I do not want to sit there and wait for each video to complete and then input new link in keepvid or some website and download the next video.
I cannot download multiple videos simultaneously since I tried that using Keepvid + IDM but they get timeout and in many cases they do not resume at same position or do not resume at all.

Thanks for this. I tried a little yesterday and it does work fine. I configured it to download only one video at a time but pasted 3-4 links, it started to download one after the other.
I have set the one click download on and have configured the settings of video to download. It doesn't give precise setting like 360p etc in the one click mode (but it does when you don't use this mode). Still better than downloading one by one.

thanks so much, that is a good feature.
 
The links expire in somewhere around 12hrs after pasting them in the download queue. So make sure you queue only stuff that will download in that time. Else you might have to copy paste them again.

You can also download a playlist by simply pasting the link :)

The playlist feature is neat, I used to use that all the time to get all the nursery rhymes for my daughter! :)

IDM can resume your download as long as your IP stays static. if your IP address goes dynamic, then one will have resume issues
 
Ok so i used the Freemake video downloader and it does work as advertised. But after an internet connection drop in the middle of night, it was unable to resume. I guess it has to do with a new IP getting assigned after the reconnection. IDK.
But another thing which I did not like much was the speed. This software at least for me does not use the speed fully. I use firefox to download (without any download manager) and I consistently get more than 100 KBps on my 1 Mbps connection (IDM even gets me more) but with freemake, it varies a lot sometimes dropping to single digit for extended period of time.
 
Try flashget free version. There's some nice YouTube download plugins on Firefox which can send the YouTube links directly to flashget. Flashget can resume downloads since it uses cookies or something. There was some nice YouTube down loader plugin in Firefox that had options of downloading particular quality formats. Like only HD etc.
You'll have to search Firefox plugins since I'm on phone and can't help much.

Keep Max simultaneous download at 1. That should help. Also the convenience of the app far exceeds the small speed problems.
