Nice to know it lets you pick a specific one but I still like downloadhelper. I don't use commandline for much other than updating and few other things that are command line only. I use Seamonkey for my web browser. It works and kind of got used to it this way. With downloadhelper, I just click, tell it where to store the video and off it goes.
