I'm using "Flash Video Downloader" for youtube videos. I have used "DownThemAll!" in Windows, I don't know if they are compatible. I'll try. As far as I am aware all versions of any Add-on are compatible (Windows, Linux, Apple) except, of course, they look different and possibly have the options shown in different locations :-) . No, I mean if "DownThemAll!" works nicely with a flash download started with "Flash Video Downloader".
I looked at the features page of "DownThemAll!", and what I gather is that it is an "aggressive" downloader, downloading several chunks simultaneously to increase speed. I want to decrease it.
I think that you misundestood this setting. You can set DTA to open several connections to the server from which you are downloading the file which speeds the whole download because the file is cached at your ISP's end as the bits arrive; the file bits are then sorted and integrated when sent to your computer to form the complete file. There is no way that you can get an increase of speed from the ISP to you - magic doesn't exist in the real world :-) .
I hardly ever watch them online. I start the video then start DownloadHelper and then pause the video; the video continues to be downloaded in the background. With default FF, pause does not download it all entirely to local cache, it stops after a little while. You have to use some add-on. The procedure you describe is the same as I do with "Flash Video Downloader". The problem is telling it to go slower.
But I have solved my problem with Carl suggestion, it works nicely. Of course, it has dozens of complicated CLI options...
