• Automatically downloads the video file (.flv) for you so less clicking
• Allows many videos to be downloaded in a batch process, leaving you free to go do something else while Flash Video Downloader takes care of your videos for you
• Progress bars show you the total progress as well as the progress of each video
• Has optional Growl Support to easily notify you of the current progress
• Can shut down the computer and/or beep when its finished
