“Donwload YouTube videos from a single icon”

Since YouTube became the greatest TV channel ever invented, there have been dozens of downloaders released that help you grab videos and save them to your hard disk. Few, however, can be as simple as Cool YouTube Video Downloader. This program installs an icon in your Windows taskbar to download clips from YouTube and other popular online video destinations.

Once you stumble across a movie that you like, you simply need to double-click on the icon and paste the link into the box provided. Cool YouTube Downloader will then save the file to a pre-specified directory, even displaying a little chart of the transfer speeds during the download. It includes a one-click shortcut to your download library plus direct links to YouTube, MetaCafe, PornoTube and Yuvutu.

It seems that advanced options and extra features have been sacrificed to make Cool YouTube Downloader so simple to use. This means that there's no search tool or a facility for converting downloaded files from FLV format.

However, if you're looking for a quick and unobtrusive tool for grabbing YouTube clips on the fly then you won't go far wrong with this one.
