EagleGet Forum

It works fine for me on the latest Opera 64bit version.

Here's what I do when I dont get the extension to work properly for a clean re-install of EagleGet

1. I uninstall the browser using IOBit Uninstaller and remove all leftover traces using Powerful scan.
2. I run a scan with CCleaner and deletes any temporary files [all options on except Wipe Free Space], then I run the Registry Cleaner and remove all associated entries
3. I run a scan with Wise Registry Cleaner and removes all leftover entries
4. Using Ultrasearch I scan the computer for any leftover files and folders of EagleGet and delete them all especially the folder where the extensions are stored the file name is [kaebhgioafceeldhgjmendlfhbfjefmo]. By default Ultrasearch scans only C: drive, but you can add folders to scan from the UI.
5. Restart the computer, re-install the browser, re-install EagleGet and everything is good as new.

I have this problem sometimes. Why dont you right click on the task and select Refresh download address that will take you to the website and the 'Download' link will become active again.

Otherwise, I simply rename the .egt file to the extension that the file corresponds to and it works fine most of the times

The 99% pausing of download is a long standing problem with EagleGet, and hopefully the developer has a final fix to this issue that's been there for ages.

You need to have Visual C++ installed. Download it from here (it has all the packages from 2005 to 2017): http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details … aller.html

Apart from MS abandoning support for it, the O.S has numerous security holes by now thats unpatched, so technically you're still vulnerable to malicious activities. To be safer you would need to upgrade your O.S, apart from the numerous programs that will eventually abandon support for WinXP in the near future.

It works for me from filestream.me

You can do this by right click on the webpage, and click on Download all links using EagleGet, which then takes you to a window where you can select and filter what type of files you want to download from the website.

What happens when you right click on the task and select "Refresh download address"?

It should be 2.0.4.14 that doesn't include bundled installer.

I don't have the kind of problem that you do. It merges well for 480p and 1080p videos for me.

It's not easy for freeware developers to keep maintaining a project without any source of revenue. If all installers came opt-in, it would deny their major share of income through sponsored content.

What is more important in this case is that the bundled installers come with only reputable offers and not malware/scareware content. The developer has promised to abide by the former. Even big names like CCleaner and also surprisingly even antiviruses like Avast, AVG, Panda, Qihoo 360 and a lot of other freebies bundles their product with other products.

If you have read this thread, Help EagleGet to keep this software Free you can see the reasons as to why Eagleget decided to go for sponsored content. The big question is "Do you want a continuously updated and great freeware product" or "Do you want a dead project or watered down product with features limited to paid version". Thankfully EagleGet decided to go for the first choice.

Did you try turning off your antivirus during installation. And then manually drag the .xpi file into addons in the browser.

Also try re-installing the program after an uninstall.

Could be related to the offer that EagleGet is packed with. You have the option to decline it during  installation.

To get the download button back you can try installing the extension from Mozilla's addons
