    VDownloader has stopped working

    Tom Moerman · 2 · Last reply by Diogo Alves

    When I run the program I get the VDownloader startup picture, immediately followed by the "VDownloader has stopped working" pop-up window. The same happens when I remove and re-install VDownloader, when the program boots itself after the installation. I have tried many things like "run as admin" and compatibility modes. Nothing changed.

    Program won't download anything anymore

    SPWilkins · 5 · Last reply by SPWilkins

    The, "Monitor the clipboard for URLs" option won't stay checked, and the program refuses to download anything  ... since the last update.  However, I can change other options and those changes persist.  For example, the next option, "Immediately download video URL's copied to the clip!" persists whether I turn it on or off.

    VDownloader Plus won't open

    Angelo Schemy · 1 · Last reply by Diogo Alves

    Hi. Days ago I installed VDownloader's free version. It was working just fine. Then at one point

    I tried to update the software. After that it stopped working. I thought it was because I was using the free version, so I uninstalled it and bought the Plus version.

    When I installed the full version it still woudn’t work. The icon appeared but when i try to open nothing happens. There’s no error message or any kind of notification. It just won’t open. (My OS is Windows 7)

    Incomplete download mp3 from Youtube video. Only downloads 20 seconds.

    Fcamus1 · 4 · Last reply by Robert Aguilar

    I have VDownloader v5.0.4277 unlimited.

    When I attempt to download a YouTube video to an mp3 file, the download seems to be going fine, I get the "Done" message. However the file only contain 10 to 40 seconds of music, more often around 20 seconds.

    I have many different YouTube videos.

    I have  tried to download playlists and individual videos.

    I have reinstalled many times and problem remains.

    I have sent a request but got no answer.

    Error 403 Forbidden, cannot download from YouTube

    Michael · 3 · Last reply by Michael

    I'm using VDownloader Plus version 4.5.2973.0. Whenever I try to download a video from YouTube, either as an MP4 or MP3, I'm told "[Warning] The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."

    I tried the Perform Test button in the Help tab and I was able to download from some other sites, but YouTube still remained unable to download. What is the solution, if any?

    O programa não funciona

    Dilmar Oliveira · 0 · Posted

    Comprei a licença de instalação do VDownloader, mas este, simplesmente, não funciona mais em meu computador.

    Já o desinstalei, reinstalei-o, porém nada resolve o problema.

    E agora? Perdi o dinheiro empregado na compra. Isto está certo?

    Ref. Pedido 120511242 de 2020-04-30

    Solicito orientação para colocar o VDownloada Plus em operação.

    Em 30/abril/ 2020, recebi e-mail da 2Checkout / Vitzo com o link para download e a chave do VDownloader

    Providenciei a instalação conforme instruções, mas o programa não está funcionando. Ao abrir o programa na parte superior fica oscilando com uma mensagem que não há conexão com a internet, solicita configuração de Proxy (vide destaque - imagem 2).

    Enfim o programa não funciona, colo o link do vídeo que pretendo baixar, mas o programa não responde, não acontece nada.

    Meu sistema é Windows 10 64bits, WiFi
