About Elephant addon

FDM (Free Download Manager) is an excellent tool for efficient downloading of files. With it, you can boost your downloads up to 10 times, manage them and control your traffic usage. However, FDM cannot capture YouTube videos.

To download videos from YouTube and other websites, we recommend using the Elephant add-on built on yt-dlp. This program extension seamlessly integrates with Free Download Manager and provides support for downloading content from various video-hosting platforms, particularly YouTube. With its source code available on GitHub, the Elephant add-on is free and completely safe to use.

  • Always set a dedicated Project Folder (File → Project → Set Project) with full local permissions.
  • Increase auto-backup interval but keep only 3–5 backups to avoid disk pressure.
