Downie Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Does anyone know a way of downloading the Deep Dive videos from Bandcamp?

  Definitely don’t use any of those screen recording apps - that’s just brute forcing it, you’re reencoding the content and losing a ton of video and audio quality. Any embedded video online (unless is uses DRM, which is not this case) can be extracted and downloaded in original quality. If you’re on a Mac, I strongly recommend using Downie, it’s a great piece of software. https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/... Source: 10 months ago

  Though it’s for downloading videos and not screen capping DRM videos, I can’t recommend Downie enough. Source: 11 months ago

• Traffic cameras for apple tv

  Downie is just an old-school macOS download manager I'm fond of - nothing special. Source: about 1 year ago

• Apple A17 Bionic SoC Performance Targets Could be Lowered

  If that sentence sounds confusing then you might want to check out some wrapper apps that are much easier to use. Downie is a paid option, but a lot of people seem to like it. There are other options, but they all use youtube dl internally and function the same. Source: about 1 year ago

• Safe YouTube to mp3/4 Converter?

  If you’re on macOS and want something more visual than Terminal Downie is more than enough to do everything you need to in terms of pulling down a local version just about any video posted online. The same dev also makes Permute which is a converter app as well if you want to get everything from one source and be done with it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there still safe ways to download yt videos?

  I took the plunge and purchased Downie and I don't regret it. Clean UI, quite powerful and no monthly subscription for licensing. :D. Source: over 1 year ago

• I figured out how to download the full archived videos the from GameChanger website

  2) Download the application "Downie." Https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/ There is a free 2 week trial. There could be other pieces of software that would do this, but I was able to do it with Downie, and it's a great app anyway, so I recommend paying the $20 after the 2 week trial expires. (this isn't an ad for Downie!). Source: over 1 year ago

• Eltima Software Mac App cheating the paid customers

  For anyone thinking about Airy for downloading videos, have a look at Downie first: https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/ because it's simply awesome, better and cheaper. Source: over 1 year ago

• Offline

  If you have YouTube Premium, you can download videos from there so you can use it even if your in-flight Wi-Fi blocks YouTube. You can also use Downie to download videos to your Mac: https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/, or find a free web-based alternative. The good news is that some in-flight Wi-Fi is fast enough to handle streaming. I recently got over 60mbps on in-flight Wi-Fi. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What's a safe way to save the audio from a YouTube video on a Mac? (Serious)

  I use Downie. You can use it to download video or audio, and choose the file conversion type on the fly. Works flawlessly, even on many other sites beyond YouTube. It retails for about $20 US, but often is featured cheaper as part of certain websites’ bundle deals. Source: about 2 years ago

  Downie 4 - same developer, this one is for dowloading videos from nearly ANY site, it's fast and you can set the naming structure of files (f.e. YouTube - Author - Name of the video). Source: about 2 years ago

• Do you collect/hoard Kpop videos (official channels, fancams, etc) of groups/idols you like?

  Almost always https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp. Sometimes I reach out for https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/ when yt-dlp can't do the job. I like yt-dlp because it can embed the info, thumbnail, and subtitle(s) in the downloaded video file. Source: about 2 years ago

• Nice review of The Smile, Evening Standard, Mon 31 Jan

  If you don't want to deal with the commandline, you could also use Downie. Source: about 2 years ago
