Unable to download videos using IDM on Ubuntu
I have installed Wine and I have installed IDM on it. However, I do not get the link which asks me whether I want to download the video on the page which I get while using Windows. As a result, I am not able to download any video at all, especially the ones on Youtube.
Hope you can help me out with this. Thank you.
See here how IDM can be installed under Wine and integrated with Firefox.
Other multithread Windows downloaders work also in Wine, like Free Download Manager (better install the lite version), or SoMud (somewhat heavier, but which is able to search by itself videos before downloading them from different video hosts, beside being a torrent client).
You might want to consider an excellent Linux alternative: uGet - which can be used in association with Firefox+Flashget to capture videos.
