Download Helper FIREFOX Latest Version

I noticed today that when I tried to download a video. It would stop downloading after only a minute of the video downloaded, when the video was 10 minutes. I downloaded the video twice and got 7 minutes of the video, but it's still not the entire 10 minutes. Yesterday, when I was downloading video, it was downloading at 5MegaBytes per second. Today it starts really slow at only Kilobits per second, and the video is saying its finished downloading when only under 2 MegaBytes of the video was actually downloaded. The 7minutes I downloaded of a 10-minute video was 93 MegaBytes in Size. Yesterday I had some issues downloading the video for some reason, refreshing the tab the video was in made it download completely but today a refresh didn't fix the issue

just tried to download the same video 4 times keeps stopping at 56% downloaded. wont download the entire video yet I can watch the entire video on the website

To say the website is embarrassing, but I am sure a lot of people use your program to download porn. The website is called Pornhub.com

I do not work for VDH. I am just another user. Also, please read #2214.

Pornhub is well-known to be annoying. You just have to keep retrying until it works. This has been my experience there for at least a couple of years. Retry. Retry. Retry. If the download starts slow & stays slow, cancel it & retry. If the download starts fast & suddenly slows to a crawl, cancel & retry. Eventually, you will get a good download that runs at a steady speed, reasonably fast, possibly even gradually speeding up. But anything that looks slow or intermittent, just cancel it & retry. I have found that it takes 8, 10, 15 retries sometimes. But I have always found VDH works eventually on Pornhub. If you don't have the patience for all the retrying, just give up. This takes patience. There's no way around that. Be patient. Retry forever. It will eventually work.

And Pornhub is not embarrassing. It's a web site. People use it. No embarrassment in that.
