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.
