BearFlix

BearFlix is a handy video downloader that lets you search for your favorite clips on the Internet and download them on the local hard disk with just a few clicks.

Although it's supposed to perform such a simple task, you may find the interface a bit overwhelming at the first glance, especially because it boasts a wide array of standard features.

While the installation is nothing special except for the moment when it attempts to change the homepage of your browser, the application can work with multiple network connection types, such as modem, broadband, satellite, high speed and custom.

The main window hosts all the tools you need to search for a file and download it on the go, including a powerful search engine with multiple categories and an advanced mode, a simple results panel, but also multiple nifty buttons to provide access to various sides of the application.

For example, you can easily see downloads and uploads, library and theater straight from the main window, while also being capable of entering the configuration screens of the app.

If the wizard shown the first time you run the program doesn't get the job done for you, BearFlix's configuration options include all the necessary preferences to make the app work smooth, including tools concerning filters, downloads, uploads and searching.

Of course, you can configure download and upload folders, but also enable the so-called “Low Power Mode” which is designed to reduce bandwidth use when you're surfing the web and the app is not the active window.

As a conclusion, BearFlix may come in handy to many users out there, not only because it's free, but also thanks to the fact that it works smooth on all Windows versions out there.
