It doesn't boast any noticeable or innovative features, but it seems to get the job done, which is what matters in the end.

The first thing you are bound to notice if using this application is the fact that it's not at all complicated. It's a basic application offering specific functionality for those interested in it. It does nothing more and nothing less. Downloading high-resolution videos is possible, with quick results. The audio conversion process makes use of the ffmpeg tool to bring the best results. One must agree that the list of supported media websites is encouraging, seeing as most of the known services are supported. Aside from that, you really can't expect anything else from this program.

media-dupes seems to scream simplicity from all of its sides. While most of us got used to the featured-rich applications with relevant and useless functions mixed together, this particular program attempts to do things differently.

It comes both in portable and installable variants, for all tastes and expectations.

media-dupe is no special or unforgettable application, that is for sure. It's one of those tools you might use a couple of times if you require grabbing online media, but nothing more.
