KeepVid is a fabulous video downloading site but it is down and we find an excellent alternative to it - VidPaw.

Zamzar is a free online file conversion web application that can not only download videos off the Internet but convert it to AVI, MPEG, 3GP, MP4, MOV, etc. It is easy-to-use, but the interface is not so attractive.

Orbit Downloader supports HTTP/FTP/HTTPS/RTSP/MMS/RTMP protocols and provides a total solution to download rich media.

While you surf YouTube, you'll see a new button in the browser, click it and you'll be able to download the featured video in a matter of seconds. The obvious downside of this application is that it only supports two output formats: MP3 and MP4.

10. Youtube-dl (For Linux Users)
