Fooja

YouTube downloaders come in all shapes and sizes. If you prefer one that takes the approach of a torrent client when it comes to filtered downloads, you can try Fooja.

Wrapped in a familiar interface, the tool can create a queue of downloading jobs and start them right away or suspend them, just like uTorrent or BitComet. In addition to YouTube, the app is designed to fetch videos from Dailymotion and Facebook.

Following a speedy setup operation, you come face to face with a clear-cut window where you can paste a YouTube's URL to download the associated video. Clipboard live monitoring is supported, which means that YouTube links are autodetected and pasted by Fooja in the job window.

Besides picking the saving directory and start mode (now or later), you can explore the different video profiles available (the highest quality is selected by default). Otherwise, you can extract the audio stream to create an MP3, a feature which particularly comes in handy if you're planning to put together a collection with music taken from YouTube.

The task area reveals the filename, progress, size, estimated time remaining, speed and status of each video. Nevertheless, the key feature of Fooja is that it can show downloads filtered by status: all, running, paused, stopped, and completed. Once a job is done, you can quickly visit a video's location in Windows Explorer via the right-click menu to open it with a video player and check results as far as quality goes.

The application comes bundled with a video converter that can generate MP4, AVI, 3GP, OGV, WEBM, 3G2, M4V, FLV or MOV clips, as well as GIF images. Also, it can merge and loop audio, cut out a section of the clip, as well as apply text watermarks with customized settings (e.g. text and line color, transparency).

Taken into account its intuitive interface, straightforward approach and extra video conversion features, Fooja is definitely to grab the attention of users interested in a YouTube downloader.
