Wiz,
Everytime I try to download this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXRa3iXldzA or others with YouTube Downloader http://www.youtube-d.com/ I get an error that reads, "HTTP?1.1 403 Forbidden".
I've reloaded the program but problem remains. This use to be a great downloading program until this.
Any suggestions?

HTTP 1.1 403 Forbidden
Translation: Go Away! Access Denied! Nyet!
I guess Google doesn't want you downloading those videos in alterable form (.avi), using that tool. A 403 is not an accident. It is a server response closing the door on you when a User_Agent, Remote_Addr (IP), Request_URI, Referer, or other criteria matches conditions set in an access control file (.htaccess [Apache], or Isapi_Rewrite [Windows Server]). You were denied access (server status 403) on purpose, for using a tool not approved of by YouTube. They must be blocking it on purpose for you to be served a 403.
Apache Server .htaccess example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^YouTube\ Downloader [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]
And that's all she wrote if you try to use that tool. [F] means "Forbidden."

Jim, make sure your vdownloader is the 6.1 version. Vdownloader works great but you have to update it every so often. I just downloaded the video and it works great but I had to update last week to a newer version. Hope this helps. Ray
