Hello, again. I was D'Loading some of Phil's Legend videos this morning from Y/T. Great quality. Now when I've resumed my 'mission' the download button seems to have disappeared. Any simple solution>> Thanks, guys.
Mart.

Cracked it!! I was using Firefox instead of Chrome. Why the difference? I wonder. Thanks anyway, Scott.

On this PC, the RealPlayer downloader works with Firefox but not with Chrome...

There isn't one.

But RealPlayer (installed and running in the background) can make one appear.

Just to clarify............I am currently d/loading via Chrome, which shows a download button on the Y/T page, whereas F/Fox does not. Whysoe'r that may be, I know not. But it do. Goodnight! Up early in the morning.............

It seems that YouTube have made some changes that have had this effect. The latest version of DownloadHelper reckons to have overcome the problem...
