    Title says it all really. Youtube won't download, or when it does it's in some wierd format .... the stuff is all down the left hand side of my screen ! Is there any fix for this ? It's a Mac with Tiger software operating with Firefox and Safari both.

    To be honest considering that there are two other threads about this that it's not just you. I found youtube "acting up" for me too. (Same sh!t pages not loading correctly).

    So, you're not alone. Just wait and try again later.

    Might this have something to do with the language (programming ) ?

    I have no idea what you're asking here.

    It's to do with the YouTube servers in my opinion. Based on the fact that it's happening to a lot of people at the same time so it can't be just you/something you've done.

    Use jdownlader it will download you tube videos. It will also download the three or four file extensions they use on the page

    I found iTubeX excellent. It allows you to download YouTube videos in .flv and .mp4, and there is also an option to extract audio from the video in mp3 format
