How can I download multiple YouTube video files SEQUENTIALLY (not simultaneously, the way all the downloader add-ons I've tried do it)? Thanks.)
The more download streams I get going at the same time, the slower each stream gets. Rather than waiting for [all] of them to download before I can watch [any] of them, I would rather have them download one at a time - each in it's turn taking all the bandwidth so as to download as quickly as possible. When the first is done, the downloader would automatically start the next download, etc. Like the way the playlist works in VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player.
Seems like an obvious thing for people to want to do. I have a couple theories on why downloader add-ons do not offer this. Curious to know if I'm right about it. Thanks for your help.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager. They work with Firefox DM. There are also external DM's available.

HI Invent,
In fact, there is a way to donwload one video by one, at least in the add-on I know and use (Video Download Helper - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper)
There, you have to configure it in the Add-on Menu, clicking the the 'Options' button of Video Download Helper, then in the window that pops up you choose "Services" , then 'Download' tab and change the first field (probably called 'Download Mode' in English - I have it here it here in Portuguese now), change it to 'One by one'
If you have doubts in the process, just let me know and I will try to clarify it to you.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards,
Marcus
