TubeSock 2.0 - Flash video downloader gains conversion queue, bookmarklet update, much more

All sorts of tools have appeared for making it easy to download and save Flash files from the likes of YouTube, Google Video and more. From Greasemonkey scripts to browser plugins, these tools all have their strengths and drawbacks, but for the serious Flash movie downloader, there is TubeSock. This powerful tool has received a serious version 2.0 upgrade since I last mentioned it, gaining a boatload of features such as a download/conversion queue, progress bar, a smarter bookmarklet, as well as support for DailyMotion and PorkoIt sites, batch files, FLVs (already-downloaded Flash files) and the Apple TV.

These aren't the only things on the new hotness list, however, so check out the changelog for the full rundown or snag a demo of this most excellent Flash downloading utility. The demo is limited to converting only the first 30 seconds of a file, while a license costs a mere $15.

Yeah now that was a helpful thing to tell! Still got to check it out, but the software looks good.
I do cherish the comments/recommendations on TUAW, regardless of what anti fanboys or super pro subscribers may have to criticize. Those may open their own extra super duper forum or stay at the respective ones they say they like better.

#1: I know, that's why I didn't use any words like "just upgraded." Sometimes things can slip through everyone's fingers.

#2: People pay for software when they want certain kinds of features that only that software provides. GIMP is a free alternative to Photoshop, yet millions of people still buy Photoshop for a million reasons.

Just because something is free doesn't mean it does what everyone wants it to.
